P.S. it’s about this blog:

Why is the wordpress install in the cgi-bin? Is that something specific for your server setup?
This is where your install wants to find the style.css file:
http://192.168.0.20/cgi-bin/wordpress/wp-content/themes/default/style.css – is that where it actually resides?
It’s in the cgi-bin for no reason actually. The location is exactly where you gave it.
A quote from the log:

The difference is that the style.css does not show up at all..
🙁
In general, it’s neither necessary nor desirable for wp to live in the cgi-bin.
chmod’s on the dirs from /cgi-bin/wordpress till …default/ are all “755”
I can change the location ofcource….(move wordpress up 1 location)
But still why can I see everything without any problems and have external ppl no correct view?
For troubleshooting purposes, please try installing (or moving, if you’re comfortable with that) wp in a normal subfolder.
I reinstalled everything and I saw i mistake (I hope). Can you check the blog now on http://gvellema.dnsalias.org/wordpress
In Admin, Options, General I hardcoded, by accident here:
WordPress address (URI):
Blog address (URI):
both times 192.168.0.20 !!!!!!!
I changed that now.
I do not know why I did that but it seems 2 b correct now (I hope)
Yup, there you are! No reason (unless to do with your server flavor of course!) to run wp in the cgi-bin, and every reason not to.
Have fun!
Thanks for listening (I sound like a woman now)…but I’m sooooooooooo happy 🙂
Great..
Hmmm…. that’s a problem? I AM a woman… I’m happy for you too!
Hahaha….no 1 is perfect haha…just kidding..thanks vkaryl
