# Subdirectory
Baby Buddy's default configuration assumes deployment in to the root of a web server.
Some additional configuration is required to install Baby Buddy in a subdirectory of a
server instead (e.g., to `http://www.example.com/babybuddy`).
## Minimum version
Baby Buddy added full support for subdirectory installing in version **1.10.2**. While
it is still possible to do a subdirectory installation in older versions of Baby Buddy
it is not recommended.
## [`SUB_PATH`](../configuration/application.md#sub_path)
Set this environment variable to the subdirectory of the Baby Buddy installation. E.g.,
`SUB_PATH=/babybuddy` if the desired URL is `http://www.example.com/babybuddy`).
## uWSGI + NGINX configuration
When using uWSGI and NGINX (as in the [example deployment](deployment.md#example-deployment))
the following configurations are required.
*Assume the subdirectory `babybuddy` for configuration change examples below but this
can be anything includes multiple subdirectories (e.g., `/my/apps/babybuddy`). Other
paths used in these examples also assume a configuration based on the
[example deployment](deployment.md#example-deployment).*
### uWSGI
In the app configuration replace the `module` declaration with a `mount` declaration and
add the `manage-script-name` declaration and [`SUB_PATH`](../configuration/application.md#sub_path)
environment variable to the `[uwsgi]` configuration block.
``` diff
- module = %(project).wsgi:application
+ mount = /babybuddy=%(project).wsgi:application
+ manage-script-name = true
+ env = SUB_PATH=/babybuddy
```
### NGINX
Alter the NGINX `server` configuration to include the desired subdirectory path in the
app (Baby Buddy root) and media `location` declarations *and* add a new declaration for
the static `location`.
``` diff
- location / {
+ location /babybuddy {
```
``` diff
+ location /babybuddy/static {
+ alias /var/www/babybuddy/public/static;
+ }
```
``` diff
- location /media {
+ location /babybuddy/media {
```
