Hello Roller community, long time no see! I've been running Roller for quite some time, hosting the blog for Fogbeam Labs.
https://www.fogbeam.com/blog And it's worked quite fine all this time. So much so that I haven't been bothered to upgrade, which may play into my question here. Or maybe not. Anyway, the goal is to have another blog now, other than the main blog. The Fogbeam "AI Blog". So I created a new blog, and that works fine if I reference it by https://www.fogbeam.com/blog/aiblog, as expected. The problem is, I'd really like it to be transparently available as https://aiblog.fogbeam.com. With that in mind, I created the necessary DNS record, new Apache VirtualHost entry, and used mod_rewrite to rewrite things so that traffic coming to aiblog.fogbeam.com is proxied to fogbeam.com/blog/. And that works fine as such. You can hit the URL https://aiblog.fogbeam.com and the blog loads and everything works. The only remaining issue, which admittedly is just a minor annoyance, is that links generated by Roller like the entry permalink are still generated using the path that includes http://www.fogbeam.com/blog. For example: https://www.fogbeam.com/blog/aiblog/entry/test What I had hoped to find in the settings for the child blog was an option for the absolute URL for the child, but I don't see such a thing. Not sure offhand if that's because it doesn't exist (and never will?) or if maybe it's a setting that my copy of Roller is too old to support. Or maybe there *is* a way to do it and I just can't find it? If anybody can offer any advice it would be greatly appreciated. This isn't a show-stopper by any means, but it's something I'd like to address if possible. And yes, I'll upgrade my Roller install soon, one way or the other. Now that I have the site build all automated with Ansible, it shouldn't take me too much work to update my scripts to install the newest version. Thanks!
