Does anyone have experience simultaneously running a Drupal and Wordpress site and redirecting some links from Drupal to Wordpress

This is a really weird question and I apologize:

I've been asked if it's possible not to import our blog from Wordpress to Drupal but just keep it in Wordpress as an archive and re-dir开发者_开发技巧ect our users say from hostname/blog/... to hostname/wordpress/... when a URL matches the Wordpress URL pattern.

I've never heard of anyone trying this and I'm wondering about pitfalls and whether or not it's even possible.

Thanks!

This looks like it should be pretty simple to do. I plan to take advantage of the mod_rewrite module for apache:

We will just need to configure a .htaccess file to redirect URLs matching hostname/blog/pattern/ - where pattern fits a Wordpress URL blog pattern.

I use mod_rewrite on my Drupal site. Here's an example I use to redirect users to www.earldouglas.com when they access earldouglas.com:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^earldouglas.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.earldouglas.com/$1 [L,R=301]

You could try something like the following:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /blog
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /wordpress [L,QSA]
