   Actually, I don't get a 404 when I post. Otherwise, I get nothing but 404s. I made it to the Options page once, but when I tried the permalinks menu I got a 404. Then I tried to go back to the main Options page. 404 again. And so on.
   So when you go to
   http://tvbarn.com/wordpress
   you see the rudiments of the new web site. But try
   http://tvbarn.com/wordpress/wp-admin
   and it's off to 404-land with you EVEN THOUGH there is a wp-admin directory inside my wordpress directory.
   How does that happen?

   Sure you made no mistake in naming folders ?

   I get a 404 when I look for your css file.
   How are you transferring the files from your machine to the website ? It could be that the ftp client is not doing a full transfer - it's happened before.

   I let install handle that. Or so I thought.
   Yep, everything's spelled correctly.
   I should add that I am currently running a MT blog (see tvbarn.com).
   Is this something to do with that nutty .htaccess file?

   podz, I used ncftp (through OSX Terminal).
   Upload was to /usr/www/users/tvbarn/wordpress/ where /usr/www/users/tvbarn/ is the directory for the MT blog. So if that works, why doesn't wordpress?
   If you're interested, check

   The .htaccess shouldn't matter - you can always rename it and check.

   OK, because right now there isn't a .htaccess in the wordpress dir.
   And another thing: Notice that the Login link points to the root directory, i.e., http://tvbarn.com/wp-login.php, which is of course bogus, it should have the wordpress in there.

   Ahh........
   When you installed, did you check the url ?
   Do you have phpmyadmin ?
   It's all looking in the wrong place:
   @import url( http://tvbarn.com/wp-layout.css );

   It's a new install ?
   If there's no data to be lost particularly, then a reinstall may be the answer. That's easily done just by changing the table_prefix in wp-config
   If you want I'll install it for you - I just need the ftp details to transfer the files, then run install. If that's what you want, lob me an email: tamba2 at gmail dot com and we'll take it from there.

    OK, I persevered and got myphpadmin to work (or whatever it's called). How can I fix the URI pointer using it?

    Oh, we're posting past each other. Let me try that other thing you suggested.

    Excellent :)
    Look in the table 'wp_options', and check the 'site_url' and 'home' values. Put them right and all should be good.
