I assume (a bad thing to do usually) that you have set drupal up to run from /blog/?
If so I would move my wordpress folder to a completely ‘clean’ root folder away from any Drupal stuff, and try install from there. If you plan tp replace drupal you don’t want to have any drupal content or structures near wordpress.
hi there
the exisiting Drupal is in example.com/website
the new WP is in example.com/blog
as far as I can manage the two programs are in completely separate subdirectories, and can’t see how Drupal should interfere with the WP sub. Although as you say its not a completely clear root folder.
I will also use separate MySQLs. (I’m not going to migrate the old DB either – starting from scratch, but need to leave the existing Drupal content live for the clients audience.)
The Drupal db was done by another programmer, site now to be replaced by WP theme.
My other option is to use completely different host to build (and then migrate to replace thte Drupal), but that will cost me.
I always said assuming was a bad habit….
i have installed drupal and wordpress on one site and no ill effects – client wanted to tset out both and see which suited him best.
Is all of drupal in exzamle.com/website/drupal-stuff? I know this sounds stupid but is ther an .htaccess file in your root web directory? As far as I can remember the drupal one should sit in the drupal folder not the root.
When you get the drupal logo with the page not found is the URL as you would expect i.e example.com/blog/wp-admin/?
If you want to post me the URL (on or off list) I can take a quick look for you. You don’t need to go to new hosting, I would be fairly sure that it is just a tweak somewhere that needs sorting.
