    I installed wordpress in a sub-directory, I get the following error when I click on the rss2 icon to subscribe on the URL browser. i takes me to the http://mydomainname.com/?feed=rss2 page not found.

    It should be http://mydomainname.com/Blog/?feed=rss2

    I have a website on the root directory of my website index.php. so I can't copy the index.php from my http://www.mavikmarine.com/Blog/ .. to the root directory because my website will go down.

    Would anyone please point me to the right direction, to set up my blog..

    Thank you

    Make sure the URLs are correct in Settings-->General

    Well this is what I have in my URL
    For the first URL
    http://www.mavikmarine.com/Blog
    for the second
    http://www.mavikmarine.com

    The only way that I won't have a page not found is if both URL are identical, ending in /Blog ....
    But then the links back to my website won't work.

    Thanks

    In order for WordPress to work properly with the way you have it installed, both URLs need to be set to http://www.mavikmarine.com/Blog (trust me, more is probably broken than just your feed right now)

    You'll have to manually create the links back to your main domain.
