I currently have a Wordpress multisite network running at http://www.mysite.com and rooted in /var/www/html. I need to set up a completely separate, single-site Wordpress installation accessible via http://www.mysite.com/intranet and rooted in /var/www/html/vhosts/intranet/html. It will use a separate database, a separate set of plugins and themes, etc.

I'm aware that this is not the best of ideas, but it's what the client wants. How can I achieve this setup?

  • The best I could manage was to point http://www.mysite.com/intranet to the child site's homepage (here's the .htaccess). However, any links on it redirect to the parent site and so does http://www.mysite.com/intranet/wp-admin.

  • Ok. This is not too hard with a single site setup. I don't know how multisite might complicate it, but put your subdomain stuff first and thus avoid the multisite rules altogether.

  • I must be doing something wrong here. Same result.

I decided to move the child installation to the main site's web root, and rename its subdirectory to intranet. Once I had done this, all I had left to do was place this line of code after the main site's rules:

RewriteRule ^intranet/ - [L]

The - rewrites the URI to itself - thus overriding any previous rules. The request is then passed on to the child site as is.
