do you mean that it loads properly with the URL reads
/wordpress/index.php?p=#comments
but does not if you leave out the /wordpress?
Although I *am* a newbie, I will hazard a guess that your index.php is installed in a /wordpress subdirectory. Ok, that may be too obvious and not the answer you are looking for. Is the index.php working if you simply type that in for a URL without the /wordpress preceeding it? Have you done some sort of redirect using — I don’t know — .htaccess or something similar? Are there any other idiosyncracies to your set-up?
What do you mean by “the latest wordpress “?? Nighly?

Do you have rewrite rules set up for your site?
the mingus version….
the index is in the root with the abspath to wpcomments.php..
code is this:
<?php
/* Don’t remove this line. */
require(‘wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’);
?>
<? include(“header.php”) ?>
<?php wp_get_archives(‘type=monthly&format=link’); ?>
<?php //comments_popup_script(); // off by default ?>
<?php wp_head(); ?>
<?php if ($posts) : foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
<?php static $counter = 1; if ( $counter > “20” ) { break; } else { if ( in_category(2) && !$single ) { ?>
<?php the_date(”,'<h5>’,'</h5>’); ?><h6><div align=”right”>Posted by <?php the_author() ?></div></h6>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php include(ABSPATH . ‘wp-comments.php’); ?>
<?php comments_popup_link(__(‘Comments (0)’), __(‘Comments (1)’), __(‘Comments (%)’)); ?>
<?php $counter++; } } ?>
<?php endforeach; else: ?>
<?php _e(‘Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.’); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<? include(“footer.php”) ?>
Wordpress is installed to /wordpress, index is in root, blog url is set to have the /wordpress in it.
