Are you trying to give WordPress its own directory? If yes, did you follow all the steps?

my web page is http://www.4ever2weeksandaday.com and my blog is in http://www.4ever2weeksandaday.com/blog
i followed the info regarding the index.php and the .htaccess but left the permalinks “as is” because i was not sure how they should be set.
i think now that maybe that was my problem – BUT, before your post, i had played with the .htaccess and index.php files and i think i messed them up. i re-copied the index.php from the /blog to the root – now nothing works.
do i need to uninstall wordpress and then re-install ?
if so, what files do i need to manually delete from the root? the un-install will take care of everything in the /blog folders.
I encountered this kind of issues.Until now I don’t know how to find my post.It is being posted, but when it comes to viewing it, it’s missing.Hopefully, we can resolve this problem.
Currently, I only see an error message (“Directory has no index file”) on your “blog”.
If you are going to keep your main web page and blog as separate entities, then there is no need to copy index.php, .htaccess or any other file to the root directory.
now when i make a sample post, and click on “view post” it comes up just fine, however back on my main/home/front it does not show my new post or any posts.
If you publish a post or page at “blog” (4ever2weeksandaday.com/blog), it won’t show up on your site’s root (4ever2weeksandaday.com).
If you are trying to integrate both the main site and the “blog”, then you can do it by removing whatever at the root directory and then installing WordPress at the root. Please be sure to take a backup of your main site, if you ever remove anything from your site.
Please let us know, if you are unclear.

ok, i un-installed and re-installed wordpress to clean up any files that i may have messed up.
i tried again with wordpress loaded in 4ever2weeksandaday.com/blog
same problem.
under settings-general, i had the blog listed as 4ever2weeksandaday.com/blog
and had the “site url” listed as 4ever2weeksandaday.com
i added the /blog to the ‘site url’ and everything looks like it is working now

yes, i intended to integrate a “main site” with a “blog tab” that would direct to the wordpress blog – – might have been able to acheive the same thing with a custom static front page, but being new to this, and being familiar with “old fashioned HTML” and not wanting to spend alot of money, i just made a simple “static web site” that i wanted to include a “blog” with it

had to un-install and re-install to fix the index.php and .htaccess files but still had same problem.
Under SETTINGS – GENERAL – i had wordpress location listed as ever2weeksandaday.com/blog and the “site URL” without the /blog
FIXED problem by simply adding the /blog to the “site URL” under SETTINGS – GENERAL
I’m glad you fixed it now. You may want to mark this thread as resolved when you get a chance.
