So it is looking like WP cannot be installed on a subdomain without having problems. * thanks * [sam.wootton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/samwootton/) * (@samwootton) * [16 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sub-domain-problems-1/#post-1279001) * Why not go for the ProxyPass[Reverse] and VirtualHost option? * You can install it on a subdomain. * Thread Starter [willid](https://wordpress.org/support/users/willid/) * (@willid) * [16 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sub-domain-problems-1/#post-1279006) * we have our own server and have a few different domains running so how do we go about doing it that way on iis7 windows 2008? * thanks * [sam.wootton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/samwootton/) * (@samwootton) * [16 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sub-domain-problems-1/#post-1279007) * If you have a few different domains running – you must already be using VirtualHost? Or whatever iis7 equivalent is. * Using sub-domains is not a problem if you combine virtual hosting and proxying. * Unfortunately i can only help you out if you’re running Apache 1.3 / Apache2 on a linux based OS. * Sam * Thread Starter [willid](https://wordpress.org/support/users/willid/) * (@willid) * [16 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sub-domain-problems-1/#post-1279009) * Thanks for the help Sam.
