Wordpress Install on OS X Snow-Leopard under Sites/public for use with capistrano

I would like to put my local OS X wordpress site in my ~users/Sites/public directory, instead of the ~users/Sites so i can properly setup a capistrano deployment.

When i try this i can visit the site locally by visiting http://localhost/public and everything looks and works great but if i ever try to go to h开发者_C百科ttp://localhost/public/wp-admin to administer my local copy of wordpress it tries to redirect me back to http://localhost/wp-admin which doesn't exist.

Do you know how I might be able to work around this problem?

Make a symlink. In the terminal:

cd /Library/WebServer/Documents/
sudo ln -s ~/Sites/public/wp-admin

Then type your user password when prompted.

Changing your DocumentRoot in your Apache config would probably be a good place to start.
