hgirling

thank you for this link!

So I create a notepad page with the following:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?YourDomain.com$<——my clients domain??
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ blog [L]

file extension .htaccess and place it into the the same folder as the rest of the wordpress files so not to effect the entire website?

To clarify, bell told me to create a database using their database manager…I edited the wp-config-sample.php file to reflect the user, pswd, host name and then placed this renamed file (wp-config.php) within the subdirectory of the named database (where I got the sample file in the first place).

They told me to unzip the wordpress folder and copy the contents and place into the named database folder because I did not want to change my clients current website.

I cannot access the admin page to adjust the settings as indicated in the link you included…I cannot sign into wordpress as of yet..what am I doing wrong?

wish I could change the hosting company but my client doesnt want to…!!

thank you for your reply…I would like to confirm where I should be placing the wordpress files…in the public folder? or the database folder that bell had me create? or can I put the wordpress files within a file called wordpress within the public folder?
