# Next/Previous not working

 * The problem I’m having is that next_posts_link() & previous_posts_link() are 
   leading to an invalid url. I’ve searched for clues to fix this, and tried several
   things, without success.
 * I’m working on a blog at [http://www.lakeholidaynews.com](http://www.lakeholidaynews.com)
 * It’s running WP 2.0.2, and both the WP & Blog URI show as [http://www.lakeholidaynews.com](http://www.lakeholidaynews.com)
   in the admin panel.
 * Permalinks, pages, logging in etc go to valid links and work fine.
 * But this code in index.php…
    `<?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Previous Entries')?
   >`
 * produces a link to something like this…
    [http://www.lakeholidaynews.com/lakeholidaynews.com/index.php?paged=3](http://www.lakeholidaynews.com/lakeholidaynews.com/index.php?paged=3)
 * which is invalid, because it added in the extra “lakeholidaynews.com/”. If that’s
   deleted manually, the page comes up fine.
 * When I was searching for ways to fix this, I saw something on podz’s guide on
   checking/editing ‘site_url’ and ‘home’ in phpAdmin to make sure they do not contain
   a trailing ‘/’. They did in the table, but not in the admin panel. I changed 
   them in phpAdmin so they didn’t, but the change had no impact on the problem.
   I also deleted the cache, which caused some issues for me in 2.0.1, to no avail.
   I think I read somewhere that 2.0.2 doesn’t use the cache but when it’s late 
   you experiment…. I also changed themes to see if there was something possibly
   theme related, but that didn’t work.
 * Any thoughts on how can I get next_posts_link() to visit the right url?
 * Thanks in advance…
