Mint Forum

I am in the process of moving from WordPress to a Jekyll framework called Octopress (octopress.com) for my site. The deployment process uses rsync to copy the statically generated site from my computer to my host. Specifically “rsync -avz —delete”, which wipes out any no longer needed residue on the target directory.

Currently my Mint directory lives under the directory that houses the WordPress installation. How to I alter the configuration of Mint to allow it to live in a directory that is a peer to the one hosting the site?

Mint in its own subdomain works beautifully. However, Bird Feeder is not going to work as well. Out-of-the-box Jekyll (and the Octopress framework around it I’m using) use rsync to deploy the site from your local machine to you host. The rsync command uses the —delete option to clear out the previous version of the site, meaning the feeder directory would be lost. Until I can fiddle that deploy script some, no more feed and seed.
