Installed Wordpress on subfolder. Blog URL gives 404 error. How to fix it?

Question

I installed OSQA on a domain. It works fine. Then I wanted to have a WordPress blog on a subfolder of the domain. So I successfully installed WordPress on a subfolder. But when I access the blog URL or WordPress admin page, it shows OSQA's "404 Not Found" page. How to solve this problem?

Here's the passenger_wsgi.py file:


!/home/username/local/python/bin/python
import sys, os
INTERP = "/home/username/local/python/bin/python"
if sys.executable != INTERP: os.execl(INTERP, INTERP, *sys.argv)
sys.path.append('/home/username/mydomain.com/')
sys.path.append('/home/username/mydomain.com/osqa')
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = "osqa.settings"
import django.core.handlers.wsgi
application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()

you need to tell your server that instead of using django for the wordpress directory, it uses PHP. What's the server software?

Thank you Andrew for your fast response. The server software is Apache. The domain is hosted on a shared server. So I don't have access to Apache settings. Can it be solved with a .htaccess file? How can I tell the server to use PHP for the WordPress directory?

Shared host, no access to apache config... Better try a subdomain instead :)

I am working on setting up an instance of Mango Blog on an Ubuntu Server running Apache 2 HTTPD and Tomcat 6 with Railo 3.1.2. I was able to get everything setup until I started trying to implement URL rewriting for the blog URLs.

I used a combination of Adam Tuttle's and John Sieber's posts to get the rewrite rules. error80048820

{webroot}/.htaccess

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
# archives rule must be located before page rule for paging to work correctly
RewriteRule archives/(.*)$              archives.cfm/$1 [PT,L,NC]
RewriteRule page/(.*)$                  page.cfm/$1 [PT,L,NC]
RewriteRule post/(.*)$                  post.cfm/$1 [PT,L,NC]
RewriteRule author/(.*)$                author.cfm/$1 [PT,L,NC]
