    I am using godaddy deluxe linux server. I have more than one wordpress installation on this hosting account. The primary address for the hosting account is http://www.thetechtalkblog.com located /blog/tech, a secondary address is http://www.thegroovyagent.com located /blog/groovy. The index.php & .htaccess files for tech talk are in the root directory / and the index.php & .htaccess files for groovy are in /blog/groovy .

    The problem is that wordpress can edit the .htaccess file for tech talk but not for groovy. I can manually edit the .htaccess file for groovy but I want wordpress to do the work for me. I have set the .htaccess file to 666, 755, 766 but nothing works.

    the extra bit from 6 to 7 has NO effect on writing to files..

    7xx is for directories and executable scripts.
