WordPress install TWO directories down from root?

    Hi.

    I would like to use a WordPress install on my site at

    http://MYDOMAIN.com/blog/wordpress/

    All the instructions in the Codex suggest the steps for

    http://MYDOMAIN.com/wordpress/

    Which is only one directory down from the root folder. When I try to follow the same instructions with one directory replaced by the two directories (in blog options, and in htaccess) then I get a 404.

    Any ideas or pointers on getting this working?

    Thanks!

    In your domain’s web-root folder, create a folder called blog. Then upload the whole wordpress folder from your local machine to that sub-folder (blog).

    Then after setting your database info in wp-config.php, visit mydomain.com/blog/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php to launch the installation.

    Michael, this works for one blog under “blog” but not for two. I want

    http://MYDOMAIN.com/blog/firstblog
    http://MYDOMAIN.com/blog/secondblog

    With permalinks and all that htaccess voodoo, the firstblog works fine. But the secondblog gives a 404 and shows the header from firstblog, which means it’s trying to get at the firstblog and looking at some page there called “secondblog”.

    Any ideas?

    Can’t imagine why blog/firstblog/.htaccess would be used by blog/secondblog…
