Hello all,

I can confirm that arkgroup’s tip to remove the index.php file (backed up first of course) solves the problem. Just did it myself. Fantastico auto-installed fine after I did this… no more conflicting erros.

Thanks again.

Yes I did govpatel… in a previous error it instructed to add that code. Well, that’s how I interpreted it in light of Step 11 of the “Giving WordPress it own directory” guide…

Should I remove it?

Hi esmi and govpatel (and all others),

I have created a new blog directory and followed the steps in the “Giving WordPress its own Directory” guide. Step 7 says to Copy (NOT MOVE!) the index.php and .htaccess files. I could copy the index.php but couldn’t copy the .htaccess file at all for some reason. Instead I used my FTP program (Filezilla) to copy the previously backed up file across.

An issue (I think) I noticed is that the .htaccess file had a different “permissions” number in Filezilla so I change it in the public_html folder ….then it created an error log. Anyway, I kept progressing through the remaining steps of the guide

Code from index.php file below …it includes the additional instructions (in bold) from a login error to my sites wp admin. The Guide says in Step 11 that if there’s an error it will require the update of file permissions in the .htaccess file …however the error originally said line 17 of the index.php file located iin my public_html file. Here’s the code;

<?php
/**
* Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn’t do anything, but loads
* wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
*
* @package WordPress
*/

/**
* Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
*
* @var bool
*/
define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require(‘./blog/wp-blog-header.php’); (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’)
?>

Now when attempting log iin to my site’s WP admin now it comes up with the following error;

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘(‘ in /home/shaunoke/public_html/index.php on line 17

Any clues? Thanks in advance folks.

Thanks esmi… I think I can do this now.

Just one quick question though. How do I create the new location for the core WordPress files to be stored …ie: where the blog will now be relocated to …ie: https://www.mysite.com/blog

Thanks again.
