Really Must I?How do I run my blog from a different directory than wordpress? I want the blog URL to be http://mydomain.com/blog/
Please note that I have already read and re-read the how to install in a different directory but have the blog in the root directory. That is not what I am trying to do. I AM trying to avoid having to download and then re-upload WP if at all possible.
I also need to make this work so that automatic upgrades work, well, automatically.
I use Westhost and it supports automatic install of WordPress, but always places the files in the folder http://mydomain.com/wordpress.
I have created a folder http://mydomain.com/blog/ and placed the index.php from WordPress (not the theme) and a .htaccess file in this folder.
I have selected custom permalinks and saved them. I have refreshed everything and cleared cache but the blog page comes up blank!
This is my index.php file.
<?php
/**
* Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
* wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
*
* @package WordPress
*/
/**
* Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
*
* @var bool
*/
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require('./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php');
?>The following is what my .htaccess file reads. I got this code here in the forums.
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
# END WordPress
