Running non-Kirby website on subdirectory

Kirby 3 Questions 🤔
1

Hello…

I am beginning to work on a project that currently has a main wordpress site, domain.com & a second wordpress install that is hosted on the subdirectory domain.com/uk/.

I am rebuilding the main domain.com website with Kirby. The client would like to keep the second wordpress minisite hosted on the subdirectory domain.com/uk/.

Is this possible with some kind of custom url setup? :thinking:

Thank you!

Should be possible if you let Kirby just ignore everything that starts with /uk. But it is worth the effort? I would say no. It would be better to have separate subdomains, i.e. uk.domain.com, easier to set up, easier to maintain.

in your htacess you will have to do something like this

# other htaccess code above...

# direct everything to index.php (1 the what)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

# but no stuff in uk folder
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} "!^\/uk\/?[^.]+$"

# direct everything to index.php (2 the action)
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [L]

# other htaccess code below...

Yes I agree @Adspectus, that’s been my advice to the client too :wink:

Thanks a lot @bnomei, I am going to give it a shot if necessary. I think they are running on a nginx server, but I’m sure I can adapt this for the config file.
