A while ago I tried running some separate HTML pages in a sub folder.When I tried to access them from the front end oxwall took over and said that the path didn't exist instead of leading me to them.


Is there anyway of hosting a website as well as Oxwall on the same server.

you have to edit your .htaccess file for you to visit the other subfolders and files

Just set up a sub domain ,the edit your htacces file and add

 

writeCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/your sub domain folder name/

 

 

Then  iframe the main index page in your subdomain folder onto a oxwal page ,thats the best way to do this.

If your hosting provider allow it, yes. Mine does. I have three different websites including Oxwall installed on the same hosting.

I knew its possible to do this but oxwall has effects on the sub directories of the server so it doesn't always work. Hopefully this htaccess thing will work

I had this problem before. I installed an e-commerce script in mysite.com/directoryname but the main directory mysite.com is still available for installation. Then, I installed Oxwall in mysite.com. It worked fine. Two website in the same domain only in different directories. But I removed the installation of the e-commerce script because I wanted to replace it to something else. My problem started. Softaculous said installation was successful but every time I opened the link, my oxwall site took over and said that "page cannot be found." So I bought a new domain and create an addon domain. I installed it there successfully. Now, its working well..Good luck on your .htaccess thing. :)
