Hello

I have a rails site in a domain like [http://domain.com/](http://domain.com/) which is in  
one folder the whole application and a blog (wordpress - php  
application in another folder) under [http://blog.domain.com/](http://blog.domain.com/).

How can I do [Domain Blog | Domain, Website, and Ecommerce Tips for Small Businesses](http://domain.com/blog/) shows up the php application?

Thank you!

You could have rails redirect from [Domain Blog | Domain, Website, and Ecommerce Tips for Small Businesses](http://domain.com/blog) to [blog.domain.com](http://blog.domain.com)

But it might be better to do this at the http server layer. For  
example if you are using apache as the front end, you could use  
mod\_rewrite to route blog urls the the blog before the rails app ever  
sees them.

Hi!

Depending on how much power you have over your server, I would  
recommend “pound” for that.

But it does a little more than only what you want. And it requires  
that you change your complete virtual server configuration.
