RIP.

I just thought I’d add my name to the list. Same issue…

I’m getting a error backup up via dropbox, the message box says…

If this helps any, here’s what the .htaccess file originally said in the public_html/blog directory:

‘# BEGIN WordPress’
‘<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>’
‘RewriteEngine On’
‘RewriteBase /blog/’
‘RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f’
‘RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d’
‘RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]’
‘</IfModule>’

‘# END WordPress’

This generated a 404 error having the blog in the root. I modified .htaccess to the following:

‘<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>’
‘RewriteEngine On’
‘RewriteBase /’
‘RewriteRule ^blog/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,NC,L]’
‘</IfModule>’

Still got a 404 error. Tried variations, such as:

‘<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>’
‘RewriteEngine On’
‘RewriteBase /’
‘RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f’
‘RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d’
‘RewriteRule . /blog/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,NC,L]’
‘</IfModule>’

Thanks again for any insight.

Thanks, macsoft3. After googling those terms, it might be what I was after. Since I’m a part-time webmaster I haven’t touched the htaccess file for some years and had forgotten some of what it did.

Hopefully to clarify, if someone types ‘domain-2.com/blog/’ into their address bar, I want that to be what the address in their browser reads, even if domain-2.com really is an add-on sub-domain of ‘domain-1.com’ at the virtual address of ‘domain-2.domain-1.com’ (which happens to be in reality located within the sub-folder ‘domain-2’ on the server).

Anyway, I think you may have put me on the right track. I’ll post back when i find out for sure.
