Weird index redirect?

    After great difficulty, I updated my server’s preinstalled version of wordpress from an old 2007 version to the current 2.8.4 version. I think I’ve finally gotten it right, I can access the dashboard and do everything I need to, but for some reason the index of the blog redirects back to my home page.

    http://www.jamesanzalone.com/wordpress

    See, that redirects back to http://www.jamesanzalone.com

    However, the posts exist:

    http://jamesanzalone.com/wordpress/?p=1

    But clicking on the main link at the top, which would redirect to the /wordpress/ directory goes right back to the root.

    Any advice, or can I provide any more information?

    Check your .htaccess for the standard wp rewrite block:

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

    and that it’s not duplicated.

    Also, did you change the location of WP?; i.e. this: Moving WordPress

    What is .htaccess and where should I look for this? (very much a beginner)

    I did not move WP but I had to do a manual update.

    Your .htaccess is in the root of your web directory, and you can try and fix permalinks from inside WP without FTP. Here’s a doc that tells just about everything: Using Permalinks.

    Hopefully you did incremental upgrades, as you can’t make big version jumps in upgrades ( see Upgrading WordPress Extended) without problems.
