Need help with .htaccess file

[mush490]

Hi, I'm trying to add a wordpress installation to my site. I have vbulletin installed in my root and I am using the seo formatted links.

I am installing my wordpress site in a subdirectory called wp/ so as not to disturb the existing vbulletin installation. I'm not sure how I should setup my .htaccess file to accommodate this. I tried combining the wordpress .htaccess and the vbulletin one and they are conflicting. Obviously I'm a novice with this url rewrite stuff :). Any help would be appreciated.

Here is my .htaccess:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /mysite
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /mysite/wp/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

## Charset
AddDefaultCharset Off

## ETags
FileETag None

## Expires
<ifModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 seconds"
ExpiresByType text/html "access plus 1 seconds"
ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 259200000 seconds"
ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 259200000 seconds"
ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 259200000 seconds"
ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 60480000 seconds"
ExpiresByType text/javascript "access plus 21600000 seconds"
ExpiresByType application/x-javascript "access plus 21600000 seconds"
</ifModule>

DirectoryIndex /content

## Compression
<ifmodule mod_headers.c>
<ifmodule mod_deflate.c>
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/css text/xml application/x-javascript
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip
BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
</ifmodule>
</ifmodule>

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]

Starting to think I should just move my vbulletin site to a subdomain.

If I'm not mistaking, I think if it's in it's own folder above vb you should be fine.
Have you noticed any errors?

In your Wordpress .htaccess, try adding this after the RewriteEngine On line:

RewriteBase /wp/

(it must have the ending /)
