 * Hello everybody I hope you cn give me a hint about how to fix the error my website
   is givving me.
    Iam running a website in Spanish and English installed in:
 * [http://www.website.com/wp](http://www.website.com/wp) (Spanish)
    [http://www.website.com/wpeng](http://www.website.com/wpeng)(
   English)
 * Also the htaccess file has been set as:
 * (Spanish)
    # BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase/
   wp/ RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond%{
   REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /wp/index.php [L] </IfModule>
 * # END WordPress
 * (English)
    # BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase/
   wpeng/ RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond%{
   REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /wpeng/index.php [L] </IfModule>
 * # END WordPress
 * The pther ages are working perfectly in both languages, then the problem is just
   with the index of both webs.
 * What else could be happening if everything has been working fine until today?
   Should I reinstall the web again? or must I run the back up generated the last
   time it was working fine?
 * Thank you very much!

 * The problem is not the language. The web has been working fine with both versions,
   which pictures contain text also in English, then nothing about it. The web is
   working fine in the inner pages, except the index.php (problem in both languages)
 * Thnk you.
