phenomlab

@hari

there is nginx.conf file in ask directory

So are you using Apache or NGINX ?

Hari

@phenomlab idk i think i am using apache. how to check?

phenomlab

@hari ok, what you have here is NGINX acting as a reverse proxy to Apache. This means you should make the changes in the Apache .htaccess file.

Hari

@phenomlab sir, what changes i need to make?

phenomlab

@hari have you reviewed this
https://docs.flarum.org/install#url-rewriting

getting 500 error

phenomlab

@hari you need the full path to Flarum for it to work

Hari

@phenomlab i have tired both full path and path

/home/master/applications/sadfsdaf/public_html/ask

/home/master/applications/sadfsdaf/public_html/ask/public

it is not working and redirecting to the main domain.

sir, looks like you are somewhere outside i will wait till you come online/get free.

–

should i need to edit htaccess of public_html or htaccess of ask folder?

phenomlab

@hari should be the ask folder. If you drop me a PM with the server details I’ll have a look at this tomorrow.

EDIT: I noticed you’ve raised this on Flarum’s forums
https://discuss.flarum.org/d/29900-how-to-configure-flarum-from-sub-directory-to-subdomain
