How do I go about making a subdomain appear to be a subfolder?

Posted August 2, 2017 1.8k views

I’m trying to find out how to make a subdomain appear as a subfolder ie:

if I have -

forum.example.com

but I want to browse to -

example.com/forum

to find it rather than have it available at forum.example.com

also - how would I work this with SSL?

should I add forum.example.com to the certificate? or would it be covered under example.com?

Thanks for any pointers!

Johnny

Hi @bigjohnny

Are you using Apache or Nginx?

If you don’t want to use forum.example.com anymore, then you can setup redirects to example.com/forum/
And then you only need to add HTTPS to example.com since you’re not going to actively use forum.example.com

    Hi @hansen I’m using Nginx..

    I haven’t even set it up yet, so I am not using forum.example.com at all, but deploying with dokku I think its easiest to deploy the app to that subdomain.

    Thanks for the advice, redirecting seems like a pretty easy option as well,

    Cheers,

    Johnny
