I just switched from a custom made theme to a new theme I downloaded from the wordpress website...
I am having a problem with my urls...
none of my URLs are resolving and I get a 404 Not Found instead.
I have Permalinks enabled (Day and Name) and in my .htaccess I have this:
[code]
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
[/code]
I am running 2.8.4 installed in the folder /blog/ in the root.
Can somebody help me?

What's the name of the theme or site URL? If you change to default or back to your custom theme, I presume that URL's are working?

after trying things I found out that if I set both WordPress address URL and the Blog address URL to the same value (the root of the WP installation) it works but I wanted to have the URL of my website be the root of the server so that permalinks start from the domain and not from the blog installation directory
does that make sense?

In other words I would like to find a way for the PAGES (as opposed to POSTS) created in WP to appear as if they were in the root of the server even though WP is not installed in the root. Currently my Biography WP page with permalinks is at http://www.mydomain.com/blog/biography - how can I have that URL be http://www.mydomain.com/biography???
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks

You can only have that if you upload WordPress to root (not in directory)

there is definitely no other way? I had a a custom theme once that worked this way but had smarty and was too heavily modified to be able to just switch themes
