What is your current home page? Is WordPress hosted in a different directory?
Oh, with netfirms you’ll have troubles if you used their “automatic” install (which sux, BTW :).
Hi there, the current homepage is http://www.juliatrops.com, and the wordpress installation is in www/juliatrops/nfblog directory.
Yes, I used their automatic install.
It works great, if I use a pointer for the website to point to the actual directory… but then all my other references are cut off… I have an ebay store which calls images from my website. Is there anything I can do –
What if I reinstall and then copy my current files for this particular website over to it.. actually, all the sites existenceinthedream.com, lifedeathbecoming.com and mozarts-strings.com are all the same – so that wouldnt be a huge problem to do…
is that a better idea?
what else should I look out for – I have only done all this in the past week, so no real comments have happened to make sure all is working well… if any of you have time, I would really truly appreciate some feedback.
1. Your site wants me to download it š
Is it a new install or an upgrade?
2. Find a better host.
3. Or, at least get rid of that install in “nfblog” and do a manual install in your root. (For some unknown reason netfirms has this stupid, useless, idiotic idea to put every blog a directory called “nfblog”…)
4. You can try this
http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory
but if it doesn’t work on your server, don’t blame me!
hi Moshu…
thank you for your response..
answers:
– new install, not upgrade. I just switched to netfirms because of the store ability they have. Thought I would try them for a year.
can I choose to do a manual install in the root?
I will check out the codex ref you gave..
So guess you are saying I should just reinstall in the root…?
Thank you!
For manual install see this:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Getting_Started_with_WordPress
The previous links was for the case IF you want to leave your WP install in a subdir, but have the blog to show up in root.
sorry, back again, just read the codex –
does this mean that when a person goes to http://www.juliatrops.com that the homepage will open automatically?
hi again…
I am reading the giving wordpress its own directory..
I dont understand step 3 about the public_html…
Do I need to create that directory under www/juliatrops/? I dont see any other public_html directory anywhere in filezilla…
Oh, that’s server dependent, sorry. In your case is www/
On other servers it might be public_html or htdocs…
I have my blog installed in http://www.chipbennett.net/wordpress/
My homepage is http://www.chipbennett.net
My root index page is index.php, which contains only a php require call to the wordpress index page:
<?php require("http://www.chipbennett.net/wordpress/index.php"); ?>
If you’re having problems with relative links, try using absolute links instead?
Man, your main page is way too long… hardly been able to wait that long to take a look at it.
And in your right sidebar you have the same ad about ten times.
okay…
so I did it.
I couldnt find the .htaccess page. I know I have it enabled in netfirms.
Also have the rss plugin (which was fabulous!!) and got these errors when I opened my page, so I deactivated it, and it seems fine..
Warning: fopen(./wp-content/plugins/lastsubmit.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /mnt/web_e/d31/s01/b0267acb/www/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/rssautosubmit.php on line 44

Can someone please go to http://www.juliatrops.com and see if it is okay??
THANK YOU!!!!
The “same ad” is Amazon deciding to put a generic ad in place of the book links I have; not sure why they do that.
Other than that, the posts took less than a second to load. The SiteMeter and Ecosystem scripts hang up the pageload a bit, though.
Anyway, is that the kind of solution s/he’s looking for, or am I way off?
It’s OK š glad it worked out.
greetings from Winterpeg…
