   I had a regular web-site with html files and was told to put everything into /www/ directory. Within this there is a /www/cgi-bin/ directory, which has a 755 permission which I think is what I need. I want to integrate WordPress into the root of my domain. Should I put the WordPress files into / which I am nervous of doing, or into /www/, or into /www/cgi-bin/? Thanks for your help.

   Don't use /cgi-bin.

   Any more info requires knowing how you want to "integrate". Integrate what where?

   I mean if somebody goes to http://www.mydomainname.com they get the front WordPress blog page, rather than that being at http://www.mydomainname.com/blog (or whatever)

   I should have said that I am going to remove all my html files and start afresh. Just want to get the basic blog working first.

   Actually the www directory shows (eg on Filezilla) as /mydomainname-www/.

   If that is your 'root', use that. So your install would have:
   /mydomainname-www/index.php (Along with a buch of others) and:
   /mydomainname-www/wp-admin/
/mydomainname-www/wp-content/
/mydomainname-www/wp-includes/

   This make sense? Hard to show directory structure here. Spence has some great images somewhere ;')
