I installed Wordpress via the Webuzo installer and now I am having problems to configure apache such that I have the install subdirectory hidden.

In other words, my domain is sigmadogs.com and I want wordpress to operate correctly from that url (sigmadogs.com) as opposed to someone having to put sigmadogs.com/wp

I have tried Virtual Hosts and .htaccess approaches and everything seems to break this.  It has been awhile but I don't remember having this much trouble in the past.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I found the fix where you put in an .htaccess and then move index.php to the top directory, in addition going in settings and adjusting the URL.

That works for the most part. The problem is the admin directory disappears from the top of the page.  The other problem is that to get to admin you still have to add the directory name on the url. So it fixes half the problem.

The next issue is that if you wanted to have multiple websites this wouldn't work.  You can only have one index.php in the top directory.

There should be a solution that involves virtual hosts / directories  via the virtual hosts file.

Telling someone to search google really isn't being much of a help.  Yeah...probably did that already...just sayin...

Hi,

You are facing this issue because you might have installed WordPress in the wp directory while installing WordPress from Webuzo. If you do not wish to install in the sub directory you have to keep the "In Directory" option on the installation page empty while installing.

Now you can either clone your installation in the base directory of your domain or remove and re-install again WordPress from the Webuzo Panel.

Please let us know if you need any further assistance. We will be happy to help you.

I am aware that it can be installed in the root directory. Now pretend you have 4 domains on 1 server. It wouldn't work because you can't install all 4 into the same directory.

The way I did it previously when I didn't use Webuzo was with Virtual Hosts via the Virtual Host file.

I really want to use Webuzo because it allowed me to get over email hurdles.

Can I use the email setup provided by Webuzo and then remove sql server, php and apache and set them up manually to be able to do Virtual Hosts? I don't know why Webuzo wouldn't allow Virtual Hosts but it just doesnt seem to work.

Hi,

You can add the 4 domains on 1 server like the example below:
http://prntscr.com/fnjsj5

It is not necessary for all the 4 domains to point to the same directory. You can point all the 4 domains to same directory only if you wish to show same content on all 4 websites. Rest if you add the other domains as shown in the above example than the directory to which the domain is pointing becomes the base directory for that domain.

Regarding managing the Virtual Host file, we regret to inform you that the Virtual Host file is edit, maintained and managed by the Webuzo only. There is no way in controlling the Virtual Host file in Webuzo.

If you remove the MySQL, PHP and Apache from Webuzo and set them up manually than you shall not be able to either manage your domains nor the applications from the Webuzo. You will have to do it your self and the Webuzo support also shall not be able to help you in this regards.

Please let us know if you need any further information. We wll be happy to help you.

I now see a possible solution.

So my next question is how to I delete the domain so that I can re-enter it or how do I change the path that it points to? The edit function does not seem to allow deletion or changing of paths.

Hi,

You can edit the domain from the Webuzo Panel itself. It should let you allow to edit the path of the domain. You can refer our guide here for the same:
http://webuzo.com/wiki/Edit_Domain

(Note: If you cannot edit the path as shown in the above guide please open a support ticket here with your server root details:
https://www.softaculous.com/support/ )

You can also delete the domain from the Webuzo Panel as shown in the below guide:
http://webuzo.com/wiki/Delete_Domain

and add back the domain as shown in the below guide:
http://webuzo.com/wiki/Add_Domain

Hope this helps you. Please let us know if you need any further information. We will be happy to help you.

Yes, it allows you to change it and delete but NOT for the Primary. I ended up rebuilding and putting test.com for my primary so I wouldn't run into this problem again.

Perhaps, it would be a good fix in later versions of the product.

Hi,

Sir the option of editing the primary domain cannot be given as it needs to point to the root directory i.e. /home/{WEBUZO_USERNAME}/public_html/

If you do not wish to use the above root directory for any of your domain, you can add your server IP as your primary domain and than add all your domains as addon domain. This should resolve your issue.

Hope this helps you. Please let us know if you need any further information. We will be happy to help you.

I resolved the issue by making test.com the Primary.  It seems to work so far.

Hi,

You can change the primary domain from the Webuzo Admin Panel -> Settings -> Webuzo Config -> Primary Domain. Change the domain name here and click on "Update" to change the primary domain.

Hope this helps you. Please let us know if you need any further information. We will be happy to help you.

That is great. Thanks!

It could have prevented the re-build as I could have simply renamed the Primary to test.com at that point.  Lessons learned the hard way are more easily remembered. :-)
