# Archives list Setup

 * I recently installed wordpress, and I’m still working out some of the kinks. 
   I have the default 2 column layout, where there is a section titled “archives”
   and under that it lists all the months. My problem is that those links don’t 
   lead to the right pages. For instance, the link for may 2006 leads to “[http://blog.example.com/blog/?m=200605&#8221](http://blog.example.com/blog/?m=200605&#8221);
 * But the real address for this page is “[http://blog.example.com/blog/index.php?m=200605&#8221](http://blog.example.com/blog/index.php?m=200605&#8221);
 * How do I change this so that the links are pointing to the right page? I already
   have my server set up so that the default address for “[http://blog.example.com/blog/&#8221](http://blog.example.com/blog/&#8221);
   is “[http://blog.example.com/blog/index.php.&#8221](http://blog.example.com/blog/index.php.&#8221);
 * Instead, what’s happening is “[http://blog.example.com/blog/?m=200605&#8221](http://blog.example.com/blog/?m=200605&#8221);
   is pointing me to the “[http://blog.example.com/blog/wp-admin/index.php&#8221](http://blog.example.com/blog/wp-admin/index.php&#8221);.
 * Oh, actually, I should mention, for the default page of the subdomain “blog” 
   I’ve put “blog/index.php” and “wp-admin/index.php” as default pages. I don’t 
   know if this makes a difference.

 * That is intended. `index.php` should be assumed as a default directory index 
   by your server.
 * Not sure what you’re talking about with `wp-admin` … Would help if you provided
   the actual URLs.

 * I don’t think the real urls would help. wp-admin is a directory in the zip file
   of wp that I transferred to my server.
