Host domain.com in a different server than domain.com/blog

  • 772

How can I point the DNS in order to have /blog and / in 2 different servers?

One of them is on PHPFog (PHP hosting) and the other on Heroku (Rails Hosting).

Regards.

Thanks

    Essentially, you can't; that's not an issue for the DNS, because it only handles hostnames, not HTTP pathnames on a given host. Your choices include

    1. Host the main site on example.com and blog on blog.example.com, in which case you can do it with the DNS - just publish the relevant A record for each zonefile entry.
    2. Host the blog on a disposable domain name, and use ReWrite rules to proxy example.com/blog to the dispoable blog path, rewriting any links on the way through.

    1) would be much easier, if you're not wedded to example.com/blog.

  2. Use a subdomain instead: blog.domain.com - many sites do it this way.

  3. I don't think DNS is what you need to look into to make this happen. I think you'll need to have a redirect setup, if memory serves me right.

    You configure this on your webserver.
