    Hello,
    I have been doing a lot of research lately and came across one problem...

    I have a dedicated server that I am going to configure as a web server. Just installed ubunutu server on it and installed LAMP server. I have a webpage that I made, lets just called it "website.com" for now.

    So far like I said
    -installed ubuntu server
    -installed LAMP server
    -installed phpmyadmin for managing the sql database
    -I am under the impression I need to create Virtual Hosts in Apache2 since the var/www is going to have 2 folders. 1 folder for my website and the other folder for the blog

    Now my question is how do I setup the blog so it will be "linked" to my website?

    Like I want the end product to be:
    website.com/blog

    Hey,
    So correct me if I am wrong.

    in my var/www folder I will have my website site index file and all the associated files/folders with it.
    I then can create another folder for the blog in the var/www and use the folder name "test"
    In the test folder I will extract all the wordpress files there.
    Then to start the install I would type website.com/test/wp-admin/install.php

    Then once I am done with the install "website.com/test" should be up and running?


    Again thanks
