title: How to run Wordpress Blog on a Sub URI within a Rails App on Heroku
body: <p>I have a rails application that needs a blog. I have looked at various rails cms and blog engines and none of them meet my needs. I would like to add Wordpress on a sub uri www.example.com/blog. My application is hosted on Heroku. I am able to install wordpress independently as a separate app on heroku and I have tried adding wordpress to the public folder with an .htaccess file like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>RewriteEngine On  
  RewriteRule ^([^\.]+[^/])$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/ [R=301,L]  
  RewriteBase /  
  RewriteCond RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/blog.*$
  RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/-%2 -d  
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ -%2/$1 [QSA,L]  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but to no avail. I cant use reverse proxies because I would like to have SSO (and shared navigation bar etc and really dont want wordpress and my app  to be "separate" applications on heroku) between the Rails app and the wordpress installation. Is there a way to achieve this</p>
