I set up an EE site a number of years ago and want to restructure it, but I am having trouble trying to figure out the best way to do it.

When I originally set up the site I configured it to replace the index.php file with a “folder name” like so mysite.com/thefolderinsteadofindexphp/template-group/etc../ via htaccess.

Now I would like to keep the /thefolderinsteadofindexphp/template-group/etc../ section but I would like to add another EE section (weblog) to the site root but keep the old /thefolderinsteadofindexphp/template-group/etc../ working.

Can this be done via index.php and path.php method if I create the folder /thefolderinsteadofindexphp/ and include path.php, index.php in it?

Will I be able to add another weblog to the root of the site using another index.php and path.php in the root folder?

Thanks,

Darren

Hi Linkshark,

What you’re describing is the Classic Method of Running Multiple Sites or Subdomains, which is community supported. This would probably work but what constraints do you have for continuing to use the existing EE site in subfolder? Could you not move the site into your root and then ‘recreate’ the folder structure using template groups, templates and/or categories?

Thanks for that. I was hoping the software still supported the old way of doing sub-sites, but I wanted to make sure before I dove in.

All set now got it working just right. Thanks again!

Hi Linkshark,

Glad you’re all set. Please post back if you have further questions or problems.

Cheers
