Package: wordpress
Version: 4.5.3+dfsg-1
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
Please accpet my contribution to the wordpress package. It allows users to
select a wordpress specific configuration from the web server config file.
The issue with the current wordpress configuration lookup is that it uses only
the host name to perform lookup.
This does not allow you to host multiple separate wordpress sites on the same
domain/hostname.
My solution adds a few lines to the config and enables users to select the
wordpress config they wish to use by setting a CGI variable called
'WORDPRESS_CONFIG'. The solution should work with every web server that
implements CGI specification [1].
I have included sample apache config option and wp-config.php updates.
In apache vhost configuration you can set the configuration you wish to use
with somethink like:
````
SetEnvIf Request_URI "^/blog/(.*)$" WORDPRESS_CONFIG=blog
````
````
/* Look up a host-specific config file in
* /etc/wordpress/config-<host>.php or /etc/wordpress/config-<domain>.php
*/
$debian_server = preg_replace('/:.*/', "", $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
$debian_server = preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9.\-]/", "", $debian_server);
if (isset($_SERVER['WORDPRESS_CONFIG'])) {
$debian_file = '/etc/wordpress/config-'.$_SERVER['WORDPRESS_CONFIG']
.'.php';
} else {
$debian_file = '/etc/wordpress/config-'.strtolower($debian_server).'.php';
}
````
The above code will select configuration '/etc/wordpress/config-blog.php' if
the request path starts with "/blog/".
I believe the patch greatly enhances the flexibility of the package with just a
few lines of code. It enables users to host multiple wordpress instances in the
same virtual host configuration like:
- example.com
- example.com/blog
- example.com/other-wp-site
etc.
