sorry to bring up an old post – but I think this is the best place to put this question (or maybe it’s here http://wordpress.org/support/topic/52281)
My problem is similar to the above post, however, I have held off from doing the edit that he did in “admin console > manage > files > .htaccess”.
I basically need to know where I put that code you describe in your readme:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wp/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wp/index.php
</IfModule>

which is different from the one on your website (so which do i use?):
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php/$1
</IfModule>

and what do I do to change where “wp is your WordPress directory”. I have my wp blog at the root of my domain: http://www.example.com. Does this mean I make it “RewriteRule /index.php” or “RewriteRule . /index.php” or neither… something else?
I use Dreamhost’s one-click install for my blog and so am not overly familiar if I have the right condidtions for this plugin to work. Any help greatly appreciated.
