jonradio,

that was BRUTAL. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don’t know HOW I would have dug myself out of that hole if not for you. There truly aren’t words to express my gratitude. You are a saint.

Hope you have a happy holiday. And know that you have just saved my bacon.

big BIG ups.

thanks,

sorry, i was confused by the no.4 point in the codex you sent me. It talks about Windows servers and i immediately thought i should underscore that “i” was on mac osx. But in fact, my server (the only relevant part) is a Linux box.

the me.com/blog/wp-admin is what i’ve been typing in. what i get after hitting return is…

https://www.me.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.me.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1

forget what i said about mac. i was confusing what i’m using vs what my server is using. apologies.

quick amendment to details:

looks like the https://www.MySite.com displays the blog fine. however, the attempts to get into the wp-admin panel are what give the code above. i can’t get into admin.

i renamed my original index.html. so i’m ok.

the link you provided, opened to the pre-existing passage. so, i was good on that.

i’m on mac, so i do have the .htaccess file.

the garbage code i get, that i posted above, i get when trying to login to my wp-admin panel. so the Step 7 about Permalinks hasn’t happened yet because i can’t get to it.

::shudder::

Seemed simple enough.

Thought that codex would be painless… copy two files, edit and redirect one, edit your php.

this is what i came up with:

“Me.com”

This, is on wp 3.8 btw. on a themeforest template that i think is cool with 3.7/3.8.

Any other ideas about shoveling my way out?

thank you jonradio.

are you saying to move the index.php file from me.com/blog to me.com/index.php?

and if so, do i need to move all the wp files from the /blog folder to the main directory?

thanks,

e.
