I have a main site <a href="http://www.example.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com</a> that's written in another language (Ruby/Rails). I want a wordpress blog installed in <a href="http://blog.example.com" rel="nofollow">http://blog.example.com</a>. I have control over the server and DNS.
I have created the necessary CNAME record for the 'blog' subdomain. But after setting up apache and restarting it, when I visit <a href="http://blog.example.com" rel="nofollow">http://blog.example.com</a>, for the final installation steps, I'm redirected to <a href="http://www.example.com/wp-admin/install.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/wp-admin/install.php</a>.
Also now when I try to visit the main site <a href="http://www.example.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com</a>, I'm being redirected to the above wordpress install page.
How can I make it work like this: the blog should only reside in blog.example.com path, and the main site should be accessible via <a href="http://www.example.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com</a>.
Removing the www subdomain is not an option as it's been like that for awhile for the main site. It might be ok, if somehow a redirect can be setup from www to non-www url, though I'm not aware how to set it up.
Please suggest.
