Hm, okay. I tried that thing with a symlink, it solved an issue where WordPress adds an additional “/~independence/blog” when you click on previous entries in the blog. After a couple of clicks you end up with a URL like “/~independence/blog/~independence/blog/~independence/blog/~independence/blog/index.php?blabla” however, which looks really really ugly IMO. I wish there was some better way to do this…
If any WordPress devs are reading this, I’m happy to set you up with an account on my box so you can try this yourself. I’m guessing this setup with a reverse proxy is not that common, so maybe it’s hard to test. You can use .htaccess files etc on my box if you need to. Just send me an email at independence at blinkenlights dot se if you’re interested! 🙂
