subdomains - Hosting a Wordpress blog as a sub folder from a S3 website

admin管理员组

I have a website set up for my organisation under www.mycompany (running on Amazon S3). I also have a Wordpress blog set up under blog.mycompany (running on a separate LAMP server).

For SEO purposes, our marketing department has asked to set up www.mycompany/blog to go to our blog main page.

Our website is currently hosted on an Amazon S3 bucket, behind Amazon Cloudfront. I have managed to set up S3/CloudFront redirections successfully so that a basic redirection happens automatically, e.g.:

www.mycompany/blog -> blog.mycompany/blog

www.mycompany/blog/my-article -> blog.mycompany/blog/my-article

Which is all fine, except for the fact that Wordpress shows blog.mycompany as the subdomain.

Is there any way that we can still show in the URL bar the www subdomain in place of blog? e.g. so it still shows www.mycompany/blog/my-article ?

Is there some way we can use mod_rewrite or similar to alter the URL for the Wordpress site?

• Something isnt right here, you couldnt pissibly be hosting a PHP application, WordPress, on an S3 bucket – Vinnie James Commented Jan 22, 2017 at 18:20
• Sorry - I should explained more clearly. www.mycompany.com is hosted on S3 (plain HTML site), and blog.mycompany.com is on another server altogether that is running a LAMP stack. What I would like is to redirect the /blog subfolder from my S3 site to the LAMP box without changing the www subdomain. – CyberFerret Commented Jan 23, 2017 at 6:41
• Its not possible, the DNS for a domain, or subdomain, can only point to one place. If you were to try to rewrite the blog url to the www url it would just send you back to the www site – Vinnie James Commented Jan 23, 2017 at 7:36
• 1 An easier option would be: 1) To move the static site to the main server directory (www / public_html or whatever) and host it there. 2) And then I would move the WordPress instance to a sub-folder, www.example.com/blog – See this: codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory – user23355 Commented Nov 20, 2017 at 6:24
• @CyberFerret I need to do the same thing. Did you find a workaround for this? Thanks! – ianaya89 Commented Nov 27, 2019 at 14:05

You are using Cloudfront in front of S3, so in order to mix in 2 sources of content you need to

1. on your blog.mycompany.com - add rewrites of blog/* -> /* so that your blog can handle blog.mycompany.com/blog/ urls well.

2. add new blog.mycompany.com as an Origin in "Origins and Origin Groups" tab.

3. add new "Behavior" for /blog* path pattern and point it to your newly created "blog.mycompany.com" origin.

4. if you get redirects from blog (e.g. WPMU can do that) - hack $_SERVER hostname variable in your wp-config.php and replace it
