Cannot View Wordpress Blog in IE7 (3 posts)

    I have a website set up at http://www.angelletrieste.com/ and am using Wordpress 2.1 as a CMS and blogging tool. While I can view everything fine when I use Firefox, I cannot always view my blog ( http://www.angelletrieste.com/blog ) when I'm using MSIE 7. Sometimes it shows up, but sometimes I get 404. Some of my friends who use only MSIE tell me that they can't view my blog main page at all (404 error) although they can sometimes access some of the individual blog posts via direct link.

    Here's how my blog's set up:

    Under General Options:

    Wordpress Address: http://www.angelletrieste.com/blog
    Blog Address: http://www.angelletrieste.com

    Permalink: /blog/%post_id%/

    I have index.php in the root directory, and another one in blog directory. (Without the one in the blog directory I get an error.)

    I have .htaccess file in the root directory with the following lines:

    # BEGIN WordPress

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

    # END WordPress

    I'm not sure what's wrong. I've tried putting wordpress in the root directory, but that didn't work either. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.angelletrieste.com%2Fblog%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1
    Your blog can't even be validated - this is from the /blog uri.
    I suspect it's the double index,php. You shouldn't have one in your WP directory.

    Here is the validation from your root index.php:
    http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.angelletrieste.com&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1
    This is a real deal breaker.

    Why don't you set up the blog correctly - with the one index.php in the root and let's work with whatever error you get there. I don't think it's fixable as it is.

    Okay.

    So I deleted the index.php file in the blog directory, but now it won't let me access http://www.angelletrieste.com/blog so I moved wordpress to my root directory. Still I'm having the same problem, but ONLY in IE. I don't know why that is...

    P.S. FYI -- When I used wordpress as blog only, IE didn't give me any problem. (same plugins, etc)
