There is a very good and flexibel contrib for that made by Daniel.

Not sure I understand exactly what you mean by this remark.

You can move the code from /opt/wordpress to the ibay/html folder.
You will need to change/correct config files & any template/custom template settings to match & remove aliases that were created by the templates to allow web access to /opt/.....
Look in the rpm for smeserver-wordpress & you can see all the files that are created when it installs, use mc to view it or the rpm command.
I have done it in the past & it works OK.
That redirect howto does introduce some other problems with the main web site & server manager IIRC, in some cases, so be warned.

Ok. I can try that but I'm trying to do what was suggested earlier in this thread - that I just use the contrib and not install the application in an iBay because it's dangerous. I'm going to take a look at the links provided and see if I can get what I'm looking for.
My local DNS is resolving my .local domain. I made entries in my domains panel for my production SME server for www and mail (two different virtual servers). I actually use this setup to imapsync off of my production email server to my .local archive email server. I'm doing these tests on my test server so I have a workable install and can then do the work on my production server. I don't think the server cares if the internet is resolving my local domain or if my local DNS server is resolving it. As long as the http request hits the test server, it works. At least it's working on my LAN.

It is quite OK to install web apps/contribs into ibays, there is nothing dangerous about doing that.
The "Interestingly dangerous" comment made earlier, I believe was in regard to allowing a developer to upload & overwite files & to overwite your mysql databases, allowing that sort of access could be considered dangerous.
There was comment made many years ago to install web contribs to /opt, rather than ibays, so many contrib coders went that way, but the insistence on doing that was eased in later comments.
AFAIK there is no really strong reason not to install web apps to ibays.
Both /opt & ibays have issues, as allowing web access is really a compromise on security wherever you place web accessible files.
The other issue raised re ibays, was that users could access the ibay & corrupt files or change configs etc, so any ibays that have web contribs in them, should have restricted access to LAN users, ie a seperate Group is created for ibays that are web sites, so only a tech administrator (Group) can access the files using samba etc.
ibays were designed on smeserver (then e-smith) to be used for web content.
