OK,

very strange, I changed my upload folder back to wp-content… and it now works. The only difference seems to be that they have different owners. Its not as neat as using the uploads folder but it if it works it works.

strange thing is that wordpress can create the folder but not move the file from its temp location

excuse the bump….

Just posted in the thread linked above. Strange, and annoying – we’re supposed to be testing out our blog today!

Just been directed to this thread from my post (here).

Tried deleting and re-creating the folder with 777 permissions, no joy… noticed that all previous uploaded files had owner set as “apache” – so changed the owner of the uploads folder to apache also; no luck with that either.

Baffled.

Oops, just cracked it… had a “blog” page left over from previous attempts. Got rid of that and it seems to be working now. ??

OK, this is starting drive me up the wall… thought I had it, but no!!

I now have an index.php in the root, and wordpress in /blog/.
In order to use wordpress functions, I have

require('./blog/wp-blog-header.php');

at the top of the root index.php. Actually this seems to make no difference to my current problem.
Which is that the root index.php is being shown as the blog/index.php – exactly what I am trying to avoid!

How can I get blog/index.php to show the index.php in my theme folder, and still have a root index.php which has access to posts?

thanks for that…

is it actually possible to set up wordpress in an actual folder, say /blog/ and then have an index.php file which can display posts as the front page?

OK – think i’ve found what it probably is, something to do with .htaccess not existing….

So I have created it and assigned permissions, and made sure I have mod_rewrite installed. Also upgraded to WordPress 2.12, which seems to have a new feature for a static front page, which I set up through the options/reading page.

But still… putting in myblog/blog gives a 404. I have edited the “blog” page but see nothing added to .htaccess.

Confused…

anyone?

* bump *

If I change to the classic theme it shows posts OK… so is its something to do with that!
