In reply to: Google Search Quality Team say my site was compromisedSo? What happened?
I see that Google is listing your pages.
Also, I get no warnings in visiting your site from Kasperky Anti-Virus, which is a pretty strong antivirus program (see May 2007 tests).

In reply to: Bloated InstallationHmm, that doesn’t sound right. I just downloaded WordPress 2.5.1, unzipped it, and it’s 4MB.
You’re using a lot of images, but still, 120MB doesn’t sound right.
Thoughts?

In reply to: Google Search Quality Team say my site was compromisedI was curious about this:
if we put the site back up again, we could not even log onto the admin area because Google has blocked the site
The admin area of your blog? You don’t need Google to get to that, so I’m confused as to what you’re referring to.
Ah, I didn’t realize from your description that that was the problem. Yes, I’ve had to do this myself on a number of sites.
Load time looks good; they were identical at the two URLs. Good job. 🙂

In reply to: Dreamweaver vs. FTP featuring permissions & Apache 2.2.8Ah, right. Yes, I get the permission-setting thing. I just thought you meant the that permissions were displayed without looking at that, as they are in FTP programs.
No idea re Xampp. That *is* odd that DW and your FTP client were no longer fine after the Xampp install. Maybe do a search for it (Google or another search engine)?

In reply to: Google Search Quality Team say my site was compromisedWell, if your blog was at wordpress.com, then you can cancel your account there.
If your blog was on your website, then you’ll need to delete the WordPress files from your web hosting account.
That said, we can’t tell what comprising had been done to the blog. What files did you check?
Yep, I’ve seen the same thing, and not necessarily having anything to do with WordPress.
I’ve been a little lazy about researching this but, essentially, it appears that on Apache web servers if there’s an .htaccess file in a subfolder, whatever was in .htaccess file(s) above that does not pertain to the subfolder. Kind of as if the existence of an .htaccess in the subfolder wipes out any .htaccess instruction from above.
Very annoying. 🙂
The part that you’ve narrowed down is the WordPress mod_rewrite stuff; if this were me, I’d just copy it into the subfolder’s .htaccess file.

In reply to: Dreamweaver vs. FTP featuring permissions & Apache 2.2.8Huh. I use Dreamweaver 8 extensively, and it does not show permissions in the remote (server) view. And I’m not sure what control you have over the server such that permissions set in your FTP program are not the same as what you’d set in Dreamweaver.
The question is: do the permissions you set in Dreamweaver work on the server?
My preference is to set permissions in an FTP program, but the bottom line is whether the permissions actually “take” on the server.
It takes quite a while to get to the site with http://jenleheny.com — http://jenleheny.com/index.php is much faster. Are you sure you didn’t change something?

In reply to: I got a http error when uploading imagesOkay. So Linux servers, which typically use the Apache web server software, do not play well with spaces in file names. In short, there CANNOT be spaces in the names of your files. Apache typically replaces them, as such:
file name.jpg
with
file%20name.jpgBut, since there is no file%20name.jpg, that causes a problem.
Just ensure that your files don’t have spaces in the file names (and I’d suggest not using any special characters that cause problems), and that should do it.
No problems now. 🙂
Well, the error message says that wp/wp-settings.php is not there. Did you change the location of WordPress on your server, or is the URL correct?

In reply to: I got a http error when uploading imagesAre you using a web hosting account with Unix, Linux or the like? If so, filenames cannot have spaces in them:
Correct:
filename.jpgNot correct:
file name.jpgAs well, some characters are reserved for use by the server; try taking those out as well and see if it works.
