(How) does a YOURLS installation conflict with other installations?

[margomius]

Hi,
I registered a domain and want to host YOULRS on it.
Let's say it's called www.example.com
I'd intuitively install it in the path /yourls and access it via www.example.de/yourls/admin.
Can I then still host other html sites with index.html or subpages in /subpage/index.html?

Lets say I access this subpage with www.example.com/subpage
What happens when I create a Short-URL for /subpage which should be a conflict.

Also can I host a wordpress site next to Yourls?
My wordpress site would be the main folder and YOURLS would be in /yourls.

Any help is appreciated.

Start with the FAQ: https://yourls.org/#FAQ;htaccess

YOURLS needs its own .htaccess file, but if you're installing it in /yourls/ that's not an issue. Note that you won't have short URLs like somedoma.in/short, but rather somedoma.in/yourls/short. YOURLS won't be called for anything outside /yourls, so you won't have a conflict. Even if it did, the sample .htaccess snippets you get with YOURLS will only check for a short URL if the path doesn't exist on the server.

Thank you for your fast reply and the link.

That's actually not as complicated as I anticipated.
So I won't install wordpress then because I want to have somedoma.in/short
But if i'm not mistaken I can create a simple html website (index.html) in the same directory as YOURLS?

Example:
Main Page (HTML/Bootstrap): somedoma.in
YOULRS Admin: somedoma.in/admin
Short-URL: somedoma.in/short

Yes! Anything that actually exists on the filesystem will bypass YOURLS ☺

I have wordpress and yourls on the same machine (a raspberrypi4) under the same domain. I installed yourls under /short, and wordpress under /blog. I haven't had any issues.

[margomius]

That's what I am planning to do as well.

But just to be sure:

Your Short-URLs are
www.example.com/short/abc
www.example.com/short/xyz

Rather than:
www.example.com/abc
www.example.com/xyz

Right?

[minecraftchest1]

Yes, that is correct.
