Geeklog Forums

I've looked over the installation documents, and they imply to me that Geeklog wants to be the root of my website. (Ie. http://www.mydomain.com will bring up geeklog). What if I want it to just be a subsection? (http://www.mydomain.com/geeklog) Is this supported? Thanks in advance.

Of course you can install Geeklog in a subdirectory. We just assume that installing it in the root is the most common situation. Just follow the advice given and place whatever is outside of Geeklog's public_html directory also outside of your document root so that it is not reachable via a URL. Then you just need to set up $_CONF['path'] so that it points to where you put config.php and $_CONF['path_html'] to point to your subdirectory. bye, Dirk

Are you using Apache? I installed my GL within a subdirectory, as you did. For example... My document root is /var/www/html but Geeklog is in /var/www/html/geeklog/public_html. I was running into weird problems all week.. Especially when trying to log in as admin. I was finally able to fix my problems by creating a "Named VirtualHost" in Apache. In /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/Vhosts.conf (I think the location differs per distro), I added: NameVirtualHost * <VirtualHost *> ServerName www.mydomainname.com DocumentRoot /var/www/html/geeklog/public_html </VirtualHost> I also updated my GeekLog config.php file to reflect the changes. Hope that helps Edge

I did a search since I had a similar question and found this thread. I was just wondering if I should move the files from the public_html directory created by geeklog into the directory I want to install it in?
