I’ll look at one of those plugins to see if they won’t work. Worst-case scenario I guess I just do a new install. Thanks!

There’s something to be said for just asking about it, I guess, because I finally figured it out.

To anybody else trying to figure it out (by the way, I had the domain plug-in activated), you have to edit the site, then change Domain to “mysite.com” and Path to “/blog/”. Those slashes matter: no slashes on the first, two slashes on the second.

Have a great night everyone, and thanks for following my internal monologue!

Also, although I am able to edit the site locations (for example, manually changing blog.mysite.com to mysite.com/blog), the mysite.com/blog page comes up as a blank page with mysite.com’s layout, while blog.mysite.com redirects automatically to mysite.com. So while they exist in the database there’s no way to access them I guess.

Beautiful, thank you!

Never mind, figured it out.

That would actually be a more restrictive setting than “AllowOverride All,” which already includes both FileInfo and Options. We’d actually suggest that you and/or the person helping you out do a little more research into what you’re trying to do and possibly consult other folks with some familiarity with it, to possibly clear up some of the confusion that’s getting in your way.

They responded:

With respect to your questions, here’s what we have:

Options ExecCGI IncludesNOEXEC FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All

As for your .htaccess file not being read or not read (partially read isn’t a possible situation), you’d want to investigate whether or not its permissions and ownership are compatible with what you’re trying to do — this might be helpful for troubleshooting: https://members.nearlyfreespeech.net/support/faq?q=PHPWritingFiles#PHPWritingFiles . We’d also recommend turning on your site’s error log in case that can provide any additional clues.

According to Wikipedia, that’s at /etc/httpd/httpd.conf– I do have an /etc/ folder available but nothing like /httpd/ shows up in there. The support forums say we don’t have access to it.

Just sent them a support request– I’ll get back to you when they get to look at it tomorrow.

Thanks!

Via FTP? Yes, I do.

Here, and it also works https://sketcharmstrong.radicalrobot.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/30/files/2011/06/IMG_0135.jpg”>here (I’ve heard it’s not supposed to work like that? I can get any file from any domain I’m using…)

I just tried that .htaccess code you suggested, both with Yearmonth Folders as “1” and “0” and uploading and inserting a new image both times, and it didn’t work either. Also, the site is number 30, so I changed it to 30, still nothing…

I uploaded a new image, and WordPress produces the right URL and they are correctly uploaded to the right folder on the server, the permalink still doesn’t work ??

Thanks for helping, again! This must be a headache… I see no good reason why it shouldn’t work perfectly ??

(It was actually on my to-do list to fix that, but I figured it was secondary to this problem. But if they’re related, all the better toward figuring it out!)

How do I fix that? I never intentionally turned them off (or it was a looong time ago and I’ve forgotten…).

Sorry, mislinked it!

(Thanks for helping by the way!)
