url path and third party stuff

Hello. Please pardon me if I provide too much detail; I will lose track if I don’t.

I have a primary domain saralaughs.com and within that domain I have five subdomains. The important one is rosinalippi.com which is where all my professional and marketing stuff shows up. I have a wordpress blog at rosinalippi.com/weblog.

Most people don’t even realize that rosinalippi.com is a subdomain. They never see saralaughs.com, and don’t have to use it.

Okay so far?

I just migrated from Movable Type, and there were a few hiccups that were resolved by professionals. Now I’m on my own and I just cannot figure out what is going wrong.

First, I’ve been trying to get Ecto to recognize the WP weblog. It keeps insisting the path isn’t right. I have written to the support people at Ecto, but something else happened that makes me think the problem might be on my end.

I installed and activated Photopress. All I want from Photopress is the ability to have a couple images rotating in the sidebar. I set things up, but when I go to manage > photopress> upload I get an oddly familiar error:

path is incorrect

So you know I just didn’t jump in here, I first tried every possible permutation of the url. With saralaughs.com, without, with public_html, without… etc. Still no luck with either Ector or Photopress.

If I have to, I can do without Photopress — although I really do need some way to rotate book jacket covers in the sidebar. It would be much harder to give up on Ecto, as I have been using it for six years.

If you have a best guess on what’s going on and how to fix it, I would be thankful.
