Hi everybody! I had a discourse setup that was hosted on a subdomain and everything works smoothly. Right now we decided to move discourse from subdomain to a sub URL. So the very same domain will be used for both the Laravel site and /community sub URL will be used for discourse. Can you suggest to me what settings and where I should change to make it work? I’m technical and I have decent experience with Rails but I’m not quite sure where should I start and what hidden difficulties I can face. Thanks, everybody in advance for any assistance and hope to hear from you Anton

Official guide for that is Serve Discourse from a subfolder (path prefix) instead of a subdomain

While you can install Discourse in a sub-folder, there are some problems that come up. I would suggest you use this link to look at what issues have come up with sub-folder installations. It can be done, but there are challenges. https://meta.discourse.org/search?q=installing%20discourse%20on%20subfolders [صورة] Generals Subfolder recommendations and tips Self-hosting The app.yml changes currently described in this subfolder support how-to, that complements the normal installation, have indeed helped me to install Discourse as a subfolder like example.com/forum instead of subdomain forum.example.com when suitable. However, there was still the problem of port conflict (80, 443), and I had to shut down the rest of the site at example.com (WordPress) on the same virtual server (by stopping its Nginx in my case) to be able to run Discourse at example.com/forum, … There are over 50 topics on this. :neutral_face:

[صورة] AntonTkachov: Right now we decided to move discourse from subdomain to a sub URL. Is that because you want to lose SEO juice when all of the links change or because the forum is running too smoothly and you need extra work? :wink: Free advice is worth what you pay for it, but I’d think twice about making the change. There are enterprise sites that use sub-folders, so the subfolder code is pretty well maintained, but you’ll still want to be a extra careful with upgrades.

Hi @pfaffman! Thanks for your reasonable response, but the fact is that I’m not a decision maker of this change and I have low influence on the final decision. Anyway, your answer was useful. Thank you

Actually, I haven’t initially thought about sub url as a sub folder approach. That’s why I haven’t focused on sub-folder topics. For me it looks like a proper server setup can allow us a multiple way to handle that and sub-folder is only one of them. Am I missing something?
