Installing OSQA to an existing application/domain

Ran the install script from here: http://wiki.webfaction.com/wiki/InstallScripts

This installs it as a separate application.

Is there a way to configure OSQA to work as a directory under my current Django site?

Example: http://www.CURRENTSITE.com/OSQA

Hi,

There is but it ends up not being worth it by the time you've gotten it configured. You, basically, have to change ALL of the paths in all of the different pieces of the application to function at a subdomain instead of at the root of the domain. Adding it as a subdomain will save you hours of work and frustration.

To add it as a subdomain, say osqa.website.com, what do I modify inside my control panel?

Just edit your domain and add osqa as a sub-domain, then create a new Web site record mounting the osqa app as / and selecting the osqa.domain.com as the sub-domain.
