Upgraded from 2.3.2 to 2.7. Admin pages work fine. But the regular pages (the regular access to the blog) fails, redirecting to the root of my domain:
Wordpress is at: http://www.inventivity.com/wordpress
and regular blog access causes a redirect to http://www.inventivity.com
From the admin theme selection pages, I can see my site perfectly when it shows the theme to be me, but I cannot simply view the site because of the redirection.
What is causing this? This worked fine before the upgrade.
Assuming your blog should be at http://www.inventivity.com/wordpress
If you can login then make sure your Steeings->General WordPress and Blog address are set to http://www.inventivity.com/wordpress
If you can't login then set your siteurl and home values to http://www.inventivity.com/wordpress using this tutorial:
http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/site-url/
Then update your Permalinks.
They are set properly (and I've spent some time playing with that to no effect). And yes wordpress installed in DOCROOT/wordpress.
It turns out that if the URL is something like this: http://www.inventivity.com/wordpress/index.php/2008/ that it works properly. It's just the naked link that fails, redirecting to the homepage...

is this a windows server? you may need to use the index.php in the permalink

This is a linux system (though there sees to be some frontpage detritus laying around). And I just went back to 2.3.2 and it works fine. It's something about 2.7....
I just did a fresh install and db upgrade from 2.3.2 to 2.7 and immediately after the successful database upgrade, it does the screwy redirect to the homepage rather than load /wordpress/index.php. This is definitely something to do with vanilla 2.7.
i have reverted to 2.3.2...and given up on 2.7. But I can switch on 2.7 in a moment I someone can suggest a direction to try.

I am experiencing this phenomena as well. I've wiped and reinstalled WP, even renamed the directory to /blog, and visiting domain.com/blog refreshes to domain.com. I've also tried hard-coding the URLs in wp-config.php with no change.
I'd prefer to not downgrade to 2.3, because the themes I've chosen only seem to work with 2.7.
I checked out the link from MichaelH, but didn't see anything new there. If I missed something helpful, please highlight it for me.
