   Hello,

   First off: I did a search but I still have some questions unanswered. Also thank you WordPress for making your great blogging software available for all, for free. :)

   Okay well I have my blog set up and everything. Everything is fine except one thing:

   My blog needs to be loaded from a subdirectory (i.e. www.mysite.com/blog/). Currently I have my website's index.php loaded with a redirect script that will redirect people who visit my site to my blog but I want a seamless transition to the blog instead of having to load the html page, then being redirected which all takes time.

   So how would I be able to make my blog appear by just visiting the sites main URL (i.e. the blog being viewed at www.mysite.com/)?

   Thank you very much for your time

   Hi,

   To move your blog within oyur site you need to edit the permalinks settings and blog URL details from database..on how to accomplish that please refer this article:

   Or, from right here in the Docs section, you could check out Moving_WordPress or possibly Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory.

   Hello again, thank you for the quick replies.

   After moving the core files of Wordpress from my /blog/ directory to the root directory of my site, I now get the error,

   "Not Found

   The requested URL http:// was not found on this server."

   While trying to Save changed under Admin/Settings/General Settings

   I have moved all the files back to their original location in /blog/ but I still get this error!

   Thank you again for your help and support.

   Edit: Okay after moving all of /blog/'s contents back to Root, the whole blog is showing up again, fully functional too apparently because earlier the them would not work and there was broken links (refering to the server locations?)

   Edit x2: Fixed, I understand what I needed to do! Thank you again!

   Last question:

   When you access www.mysite.com/blog/ via my site, it shows a folder index of /blog/

   How do I forbid this and make an automatic redirect to the front page (i.e. www.mysite.com/)

   Thank you so much for your time!

   I should let you know that I cannot add anything to .htaccess :x
