I would like to server my ghost blog site from /blog subfolder as opposed to root e.g. example.com/blog instead of example.com.

I’ve updating the url in /opt/bitnami/apps/ghost/htdocs/config.production.json and adding apache proxy pass entry e.g.

ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyPass /blog/ http://127.0.0.1:2368/blog/ ProxyPassReverse /blog/ http://127.0.0.1:2368/blog/

Hey @jcarmona - thanks for your prompt response. I’ve got this working now.

For anyone who might find it useful:

  • Don’t need to add folder to /opt/bitnami/apps/ghost/htdocs/config.production.json (keep it 127.0.0.1:2368
  • Apache proxy set up:
ProxyPreserveHost On 
ProxyPass /blog/ http://127.0.0.1:2368 
ProxyPassReverse /blog/ http://127.0.0.1:2368
Ghost cannot start
