pages not found in WP subdomain

Hello,

I’m having a few issues with my blog set up as a subdomain; just wondered if someone might be able to share some thoughts / ideas to help me out.

I have seen this type of behaviour from WP before running it locally in WAMP and all it turned out to be was the apache rewrie module wasn’t ticked. Once enabled it all worked fine. So I’m thinking along the lines at the moment that if the site id there and looking as it should be it just can’t find pages or posts, then surely thats just something to do with a rewrite rule.

So in my .htaccess file I have the following code after finding a very useful article shared on here already.

# BEGIN WordPress
Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^puppetsproject.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://puppetsproject.com/$1 [L,R=301]

RedirectMatch 301 ^/rickyexplores/(.*)$ http://rickyexplores.puppetsproject.com/$1

# END WordPress

This site is actually live at the moment, so if you go to: http://rickyexplores.puppetsproject.com you will see the blog, but will find out soone enough that pages and posts are ‘not found’.

All the files are within a folder ‘rickyexplores’ within the root of the http://www.puppetsproject.com website.

I’m at a bit of a loss; am I doing something obviously wrong?

Any thoughts would be gratefully appreciated, many thanks in advance.
