   I did a quick search of the forums, but it seems that they're either saying it's no problem, or they haven't been answered. If it's a problem with my server, please let me know.

   I've installed wordpress in the main root folder, and then another software as a directory underneath it:

   wordpress is at: /public_html , appears as http://www.mydomain.com/
   new script is at: /public_html/myscript , appears as http://www.mydomain.com/myscript

   However, since I'm using permalinks, WordPress rewrites my urls to the wordpress index.php instead, and does not allow me to access myscript at all. Instead, it gives me a 404 error based on my wordpress template. This is appears to be the work of mod_rewrite and the .htaccess file.

   Here is my original .htaccess:

   # -FrontPage-
   
   IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*
   
   <Limit GET POST>
   order deny,allow
   deny from all
   allow from all
   </Limit>
   <Limit PUT DELETE>
   order deny,allow
   deny from all
   </Limit>
   
   # 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 understand that RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f and RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d means, "if the file or the directory exists, then do not forward it to index.php (ie. wordpress)", but if this were true, then i should have no trouble accessing /myscript/ or /myscript/index.php

   Here is my attempt to write an exclusion:

   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
   RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_FILENAME} [L]
   
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php -f
   RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php [L]

   I've placed this before the #BEGIN WORDPRESS, but to no avail.

   Here is my second attempt to write an exclusion:
   

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

   Also is not working. Is there something I'm missing?

   Thank you all for your time and patience.

   I'm getting the same problem - did you ever find out a solution? If so, I'm sure you'd make a lot of people very happy if you shared it with us.

   The infuriating thing is that I've got another domain on the same server where it all works fine - and I can't work out where the difference lies.
