permalink structure problems

    Hi, I just installed 2.8.4 and I’m having problems with my permalinks. I have my blog URL set to http://www.fillingintheblanks.com and wordpress url is fillingintheblanks.com/wordpress. My index.php is configured properly as far as I can tell; if you go to fillingintheblanks.com it loads wordpress properly. However, NONE of my post links or pages links work. They all loop back to index.php because they aren’t including the /wordpress/ in the url. All my “ugly” permalinks are published as http://www.fillingintheblanks.com/?p=5

    if I type out http://www.fillingintheblanks.com/wordpress/?p=5 then I can get to the post or page etc. WHY won’t the links publish correctly? If I change my blog url to be fillingintheblanks.com/wordpress then all the links work. I’ve looked through and followed all the “giving wordpress it’s own directory” pages and searched for answers but I’m stuck now and I’m a complete newbie to this so I’m sorry if it’s a simple reason that I’ve missed. I’m using ugly links because I have Windows IIS and have no idea how to deal with the url rewrite stuff.

    If you have wordpress in a sub-directory you’ll need to set the wordpress url to [domain.com]/wordpress/. You can, however, move all the wordpress files into the main directory, rather than the wordpress directory, and change the url to just be [domain.com]. It all depends on whether you want it in its own directory. Id recommend moving it into the main directory for your website though

    Were your permalinks working before you upgraded to 2.8.4 ? Or this is a fresh install and permalinks have never worked ?

    Yes the permalinks were working before the upgrade. And I want to keep wordpress in a separate directory so the wordpress files aren’t cluttering my main directory. Why do you recommend the main directory?

    I did a fresh install and it just refuses to give me working links if I keep my wordpress in domain.com/wordpress and want it showing on domain.com/index.php

    For now I’m keeping it in domain.com/wordpress but now I have no index page for my main directory.
