I need some help with URL rewriting. The case is similar with this one.

Answer 1

www.site.com (points to /var/www/zf)

www.site.com/blog (points to /var/www/wp)

The easiset way to achive this, where you want a sub-url to point outside the VirtualHost's DocumentRoot directory, is to create an Alias...

Inside the VirtualHost block add:

Alias /blog /var/www/wp

<Directory /var/www/wp>
    Options All
    AllowOverride All
    order allow,deny
    allow from all
</Directory>

*This assumes you have PHP enabled in some way for that directory.

Answer 2

The ServerName trick will not work: you can not have path names in a ServerName directive.

For mod_rewrite you should be able to get away with something like this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^blog/(.*)$ wp/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ zf/$1 [L]
