   Hello,

   I have WP 2.3.2 setup on a new domain, with the files sitting in a subdirectory called 'blog' --

   http://www.deankennedy.com/blog as WordPress address URL and
   http://www.deankennedy.com as blog address URL

   This works fine on another site I have (www.dmk.com.au) -- where front page is in root, and a static page (with a small loop).

   I have the identical setup for http://www.deankennedy.com (.htaccess, permalinks, options, web settings etc) ... but when I try http://www.deankennedy.com/blog/ to get my latest posts (which works fine on dmk.com.au with the same settings), I get a 404 error (within my blog template).

   I'm tearing out my hair trying to figure what setting is wrong ... any help?

   Both setups seem identical to me, but I get a 404 error for one (deankennedy.com), and the list of latest posts for the other (dmk.com.au).

   When I type in fully http://www.deankennedy.com/blog/index.php -- I get a "no posts match your criteria" message. The web server is setup so that index.php is one of the Index Pages.

   I can't think of what else could do this, and I've googled, looked through WP docs and forum posts and followed Giving WordPress Its Own Directory (which works fine -- I just don't get a list of posts at the /blog/ address).

   I just also noticed ... on another site I have, this same problem occurs -- I had always just had blog posts as home page, but when I tried static page, the http://www.domain.com/blog/ option gave me a 404 error too.

   I wish I knew why it worked for http://www.dmk.com.au/blog/ and not for the others. >:|

   Nevermind -- I solved it. I could NOT solve it in the same way, but I found a good workaround here:

   Using WordPress As A CMS For Small Business Websites

   It's not the same as the other setup, but at least it works!
