   Where, exactly, on your site did you put WordPress?

   http://www.classicalchandeliers.co.uk/blog/ is a 404 as well.

   Sure doesn't seem to be a blog there.

   After the install finished did you receive a confirmation email? What URL was on that?

   sure did , with the URL
   http://www.classicalchandeliers.co.uk/blog

   and I can get to http://www.classicalchandeliers.co.uk/blog/wp-login.php !!!

   Is it anything to do with my .htacess file
   RewriteEngine On

   RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^classicalchandeliers.co.uk [NC]

   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.classicalchandeliers.co.uk/$1 [L,R=301]

   # Don't rewrite any URIs ending with a file extension (ending with .[xxxx])
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$
   # Don't rewrite admin directory
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/Chandelier001.* [NC]
   # Don't rewrite editors directory
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/editors.* [NC]
   # Don't rewrite cPanel directories
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/cpanel.* [NC]
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/frontend.* [NC]
   # Handle all other URIs using Zen Cart (index.php)
   RewriteRule (.*) index.php?%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

   Hmm... yeah. I'm not an .htaccess expert, but you might add a line to that one like:

   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/blog.* [NC]

   Put it right before that Zen Cart comment.

   thanks that was a great help and got the blog working as a stamdalone blog.
   I've now added the blog into zencart using a module so the blog is accessible from the sidebar and I've now been able to remove this line.
   The module overcomes this rewrite issue.
   If other people want wordpress on zencart then this seems to be a good way to integrate into the site.
   I've used the CEON URL tool and the WOZ zencart wordpress module.
   This can be seen at http://www.classicalchandeliers.co.uk

   Thanks Again.
