Host a blog on another server?

Question

I currently have a blog of my companies on the same server as our main web application, as in example.com/blog

What would be the easiest way to move the blog to another server, but still allow users to either access the blog in example.com/blog, or blog.example.com?

Answer 1

Issue 301 HTTP redirects from website.com/blog to blog.website.com

The specifics depend on the server.

Answer 2

The answer I provide suggests that you are using Apache as a web server, as that is what I am familiar with. If you use IIS, then you can find a similar solution, but I can not guarantee this.

Apache mod_proxy, /blog . Apache docs .

This worked well:

ProxyPass /blog http://blog.example.com/
ProxyPassReverse /blog http://blog.example.com/

But only after the proxy modules load correctly:

LoadModule proxy_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_html_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_proxy_html.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_proxy_http.so

Notes

• Due to CloudFlare, I also had to host a blog with a different hostname, not *.example.com.
• I added Disallow: /to mine blog.example.com/robots.txt. Like these search engines will not start indexing in two places. And search engines just ignore it blog/robots.txt.
