permalinks linking to wrong folder

    I’ve been asked to take over management for an existing site, which includes a wordpress blog, which I have no prior expierence with.

    The permalinks are pointing to the “archives” folder, which according to the documentation is correct. The blog folder, however, also contains a “archive” folder (note the missing ‘s’).

    When a user clicks a permalink, they are directed to a “300 multiple choices” error page. If the resulting url is changed from “/blog/archives/” to “/blog/archive/” the corrrect page appears.

    Any idea how I would go about fixing this? The documentation mentions a .htaccess file which this site lacks.

    To sum up, this site contains a archives and a archive folder.
    New pages are being writting to both.
    Permalinks are pointing to archives, which don’t work.
    Altered links to archive do work.

    thanks,
    da

    There shouldn’t be any physical folder with those names in a normal WP install! That’s the problem.
    What files are in those folders?

    My mistake.

    The blog is generated by Moveable Type, not WordPress.

    Mea culpa,
