   i just attempted to move my .htaccess file from the wordpress directory into the root of my site... but i couldn't figure out how to do this. i used absoluteftp software and changed the settings to "view dot files"... but moving the file wasn't as easy as drag and drop. anyone know an easy way to move this file? i was following these instructions to give wordpress its own directory:

   1. Download the file from your site to a local directory.
   2. Go to the root for your site.
   3. Upload the file from your local directory to the site.

   is my .htaccess file formatted correctly?

   # BEGIN WordPress
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>

   # END WordPress

   i'm having this problem now...when i click a link such as:

   http://www.domain.com/wordpress/about

   for some reason this URL is not found:

   http://www.domain.com/wordpress/index.php/about/

   why would it be inserting that "index.php" in the URL? that seems to be causing the 404 page to come up.

   How do you have your permalinks set?

   And yes, that .htaccess looks pretty typical for a WP 2.x install. WP handles most of the redirection internally these days.

   Your WordPress address needs to be a full URL, just like your blog address.

    when i click on the "permalinks" option in the admin, the admin is actually showing these same broken URLs with the "index.php"

    http://domain.com/index.php/2006/03/21/sample-post/

    it's like the permalinks are using my blog address instead of my wordpress address???

    (my blog index.php is installed on the root domain)

    What OS and web server are you running?

    Does your web server support mod_rewrite?

    There should be no need for mod_rewrite if the index.php prefix is used.
