Ok, I’m not as smart as I thought I was.
I created the page.php – I could at least manage that!
How do I tell WP to use page.php for the Pages i’m creating, rather than use index.php?

Thanks!

UPDATE:
Ok, there must be something (somethingELSE!) I don’t know, cuz WP automagically used page.php. I guess I should look up default heirarchy?

Thanks again! You all make me look good to my clients!

AND HERE IS THAT HEIRARCHY INFO~

Cool! THanks I’ll try it! (I’m having GREAT LUCK on this board today!)

<big kiss> moshu…

I looked and looked and learned a lot about a lot of other things. But I missed that page. It looks as if it might work for me. I’m not quite getting creating the additional pages, but I’ll fiddle with it for a while.

Sometimes it is hard to look up stuff when one does not know the jargon yet.

Thanks -with crossed fingers!,

Can you explain how you do this in Apache?
I have no knowledge on how to load, edit or do anything in Apache?
If you could explain in laymans terms that would be great ??

==================

This may be a hard thing to answer if you do not use virtual hosts. Check with your host if you do not manage your server on your own.

If you want you can get back with me to let me know you specific setup and I can see if I can help you figure it out.

I fixed this one on my own finally…
in comment-function.php –

This was line 23/24:

23 if ( file_exists( TEMPLATEPATH . $file ) )
24 require( TEMPLATEPATH . $file );

this is the function:
function comments_template( $file = ‘/comments.php’ )

I replaced $file with comments.php:
if ( file_exists( TEMPLATEPATH . comments.php ) )
require( TEMPLATEPATH . comments.php );

AND IT WORKED!

Got it!
It was a combo of info here, info there, info from everywhere. And in the process I’ve learned a lot more that I don’t know (huh?)

Bottom line is that I had to set the FollowSymLinks directive to yes in Apache. It didn’t work in the .htaccess file.

Whew! Hope my painful experience will help some other confused soul!

Trying yet again…
I tried adding /index.php/ and that didn’t help either, and I checked on my mod_rewrite is loaded…

I tried again… ARGH!!!!

I created an empty .htaccess file & uploaded it and chmod to 666
I changed my permalink structure and click “update permlink structure”
Got the message: Permalink structure updated.
I tried using other links in admin and got FORBIDDEN – no access to the pages.
I tried viewing the site and got my Fedora Core Test Page.

I remove the .htaccess file and my pages come back.
HOWEVER… none of the links on my page work (go figure!) BUT the link structure is correct! (/%category%/%author%/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/)
it’s just that the link can’t be found.
The requested URL /backbone-america/john-andrews/2005/04/18/jan-31-05-ship-him-to-tehran-tech/ was not found on this server.

And I noticed that the https://www.backboneamerica.net/ part is not there…

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG! BOOO HOOOO HOOOOOO!

Thanks, all!
Kathy

my index.php file is right in the root of the domain, so it is https://www.backboneamerica.net/index.php.

When I put the .htaccess in that directory, stops all files from being seen.

now what?

(thanks)
