indexibit vs. wordpress woes

dpi / 2007-12-07 17:33:02   

Hello,

My host/domain is with GoDaddy.

I've setup Inexibit and all is fine, after setting up the SQL Database.

The question:Do I need to add another MySQL for the same domain - thats already using Indexibit; Number of MySQL Databases Used: (1 of 10)

As last time something went completely wrong and I couldnt access anything - had to contact GoDaddy support and ended up deleting the indexibit SQL database and all the files from FTP.

Hope this makes sense?Thanks for looking, dpi.

No, it should install just fine...but...

Install Indexhibit in your root...and then install Wordpress in a folder of the root...

thanks it worked :o)

The problem I encountered last time was: changing the wordpress address location to www.blog.mywebsite.com - now im just leaving it as www.mywebsite.com/blog

I have the iframe working to have wordpress live inside indexhibit. but curious what this means:

"Install your WP blog to a folder outside of Indexhibit. For our purposes, let's say we installed to a folder above Indexhibit called 'journal'."

I don't really understand what I should put on my FTP server? I would really like to have the blog not exist outside of my site (i.e. someone cannot go to billsmithphotos@wordpress.com but can only see the blog from within my site). Is this what the above lines refer to when it indicates to install a blog folder on your server?

sorry, that should be billsmithphotos.wordpress.com NOT billsmithphotos@wordpress.com.

@talz: -
I think what Vaska means is that you should try to install WordPress outside of Indexhibit.

Examples
Say Indexhibit is installed on your FTPs root: -

  1. /index.php
  2. /ndxz-studio/
  3. /files/

Your could/should install WordPress under a folder called 'blog': -

  1. /index.php
  2. /ndxz-studio/
  3. /files/
  4. /blog/

Warning(s)
If you have clean URLs enabled in Indexhibit and one of your sections is called 'blog', you/your visitors will have problems accessing either your Indexhibit section and it's contents or your WordPress installation.

It'd be difficult for your web server to distinguish between http://www.yourwebsite.com/blog/ (Indexhibit clean/virtual URL) and http://www.yourwebsite.com/blog/ (WordPress installation folder)... Hope that makes some sense.

Using a sub-domain like you suggested above would help, but you'd also need to update your WordPress config/settings to reflect this (visit their docs or google it).

Hope this helps. Let us know.
Peace.
