If you just want to install wordpress to a subdirectory, create /blog/ directory under your document root.
download your wordpress file to /blog/, unzip and install from there. You might have to remove all your exiting one.
this KB has already shown you how to install to /blog/ https://wordpress.org/support/article/how-to-install-wordpress/#basic-instructions

but how to install wordpress using command line only , cause when i gave sudo command , some permission messed up.

also how to configure so that if someone visit domain.com redirects to domain.com/blog , what .htacces file configuration i have to put in root directory & what i htacces content should i put in /blog directory.

also how to configure the virtual host ? so they point to /blog directory.

Hi @ishangarg ,

1. Launch a new openlitespeed wordpress server.
2. Create a blog folder and move all wordpress files to the blog folder
3. Change the right owner to the blog, e.g. chown -R www-data:www-data blog
3. visit example.com/blog and finish the wordpress setup
4. put a rewrite rule under /var/www/html either .htaccess file or web admin rewrite tab
5. Restart openlitespeed web server.

Let us know if it helps.

Best,
Eric
