Finally, it is just www.teamjuchems.com

Something that has bothered me about this blogging setup since its inception was the need type “wordpress” at the end of my teamjuchems.com URL, https://www.teamjuchems.com/wordpress. Everyone else seems to have figured out how to get their blog into their root directory. I had setup my wordpress install into a “virtual” apache instance, so this wasn’t how it came up as default.

After trying to mess with an .htaccess file, redirects in Apache, etc. I scrolled down, in webmin, to the apache server management page, and guess what I saw:
ServerPath

As you can see there, there is a “root” directory. Previously it was pointed just to /var/www/, now it points to /var/www/wordpress/ and magically this made it so my blog was the root of the web server. Now, this broke a bunch of things and made it so I had to clear the cache of all my web browsers so I could login, but this should be its long term parking spot. I had also mistakenly told the virtual server that it was representing http://worpress.teamjuchems.com – this has now been fixed as well.

One win for the team, at least 😉
