help setting up with a self-hosted istance about wordpress-webfinger

[pfefferle]

https://username.altervista.org/.well-known/webfinger does return a 404 page, so there might be something wrong with your htaccess. Have you checked if your webserver is an apache? have you placed the htaccess in the root folder (not insiede the wordpress folder)?

[eadmaster]

sorry, the actual url is https://eadmaster.altervista.org/.well-known/webfinger, which returns a 500 error.

[pfefferle]

then something with your .htaccess seems broken. Can you post the line you added to your .htaccess?

[eadmaster]

sure, there is only 1 line:
RedirectMatch "^\/\.well-known(.*)$" "\/wordpress\/\.well-known$1"

[pfefferle]

Is mod_alias enabled for your Apache?

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_alias.html

[eadmaster]

mod_alias seems not supported, can i use mod_rewrite instead?

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule "^\/\.well-known(.*)$" "\/wordpress\/\.well-known$1"

Should also work in theory, but I am not sure if your example is valid.
