View source for How to add a subdirectory that runs PHP scripts

[[Category:Howto]]
In this example, we are adding a 'blog' directory, perhaps to host wordpress.

===Edit [eprint install dir]/archives/[archive]/cfg/cfg.d/[[20_baseurls.pl]]===

Amend this line to include the directory you want to make an exception for.  

Here we are adding the directory /blog/ to the array.
 $c->{[[Rewrite_Exceptions|rewrite_exceptions]]} = [ '/cgi/', '/archive/', ''''/blog/''''];

Save and close.

===Edit: [eprint install dir]/archives/[archive]/cfg/[[apachevhost.conf]]===

And add the following.

   Alias /blog/ /path/to/blog/
   <Location "/blog">
      AddHandler php5-script php
      DirectoryIndex index.php
   </Location> 
   <Directory /path/to/blog>
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
   </Directory>

===EPrints 3.3+ Edit: cfg/apache/[archiveid].conf===

And add the following above the existing <tt>Location</tt>:

   Include [eprint install dir]/archives/[archiveid]/cfg/apachevhost.conf

Or, to overwrite your existing Apache conf (losing any changes!):

   ./bin/generate_apacheconf --replace [archiveid]

===Restart Apache===

 /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload
