How Can I Add a 2nd Website (non-WordPress) to the Bitnami Wordpress Stack

Description:
I currently have a WordPress website on my AWS server installed and running fine. I need to add a 2nd website to the same server, only this 2nd site will not be WordPress and will instead be a simple PHP site.

The 2nd site will utilize the same domain, but will have a different subdomain, than the current Bitnami WordPress site installed. I need both sites to use the same ssl certificate currently installed (the certificate covers all subdomains).

Is this possible to do?

Hi @sean.reardon,

Yes, it's totally possible. First of all, let's deploy the PHP app using an Apache alias and then we can move it to a subdomain. This guide has the info about how to deploy it

https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/apps/wordpress/administration/create-custom-application-php/

Happy to help!

I followed the guide based on the set of instructions for "If your stack does not include a demo application". I completed the steps right through restarting the Apache server (immediately after modifying file "/opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/bitnami/bitnami-apps-prefix.conf").

When I attempted to go to my servers ip address with http://SERVER-IP/myapp (I replaced with my server's IP and also with the app name used, not myapp), I received a 403 Forbidden error.

Can you please advise on the next steps to fix the 403 error and also how to implement a new subdomain (such as https://[new_subdomain].[same_domain].com)?

Thank you,
Sean
