I'm new to wordpress, I spent hours on it yesterday to make it fit with my layout. When I was done I changed my .htaccess so that /wordpress/index.php would be the default directory page by using:
DirectoryIndex wordpress/index.php
It works, but when I click on "comments" in my post I get 403 forbidden. I don't get forbidden when my .htaccess isn't using the default directory index code. Someone please help and thanks in advance.

I had the same problem recently and solved this by going to Options > General > "unchecking" the boxes under
Membership:
Anyone can register
Users must be registered and logged in to comment
Hope this works for you, too.

I found this page http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory and followed the instructions. If it wasn't for you creativenative, I wouldn't have found the link. It was in the general options, didn't really notice it earlier. But it solved my problem and there's not really any need to change the .htaccess file if you follow the instructions on that page.
