hey

I would like to use an self-made rails app with a media-wiki in the SAME  
virtual host. the routing should work like following:

[domain.net/](http://domain.net/) → rails app  
[domain.net/wiki/](http://domain.net/wiki/) → mediawiki

My vhost configuration looks like:  
DocumentRoot /var/www/domain/app/public  
Alias /wiki /var/www/domain/domain/httpdocs/w/index.php

# see apache rewrites from mediawiki-docs:

# [Manual:Short URL - MediaWiki](http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL)

The alias works correctly. But the php-files aren’t parsed by apache. I  
would be very happy if you have any suggestions.

Thank in advance  
Benni

Any reason that [wiki.domain.net](http://wiki.domain.net) is unacceptable? You’re in for  
several less headaches if you just go with that. Plus you can just  
create a redirect from [domain.com/wiki](http://domain.com/wiki) to [wiki.domain.com](http://wiki.domain.com).

Directories are better SEO wise than subdomains.

I have the same problem too. I was forced to go to a subdomain.

Also, if you ever need to use SSL, star (\*.domain.com) certificates  
tend to be a lot more expensive than normal ones.
