If they’re accessed via a browser, I’d assume they’d be executed rather than downloaded.

You might try zipping them before upload.

Yes, your blog being there is a great sign. I would just search for the actual error message:

Cannot modify header information – headers already sent

Quick note: when you unzip the WordPress download, it (in WinZip, at least) opens a window and displays all the files. If you then choose Extract, it will dump the files into whatever folder you choose, and will *maintain the folder structure* of the files — meaning, the resulting wordpress folder will have other folders in it, with the files in the proper folder.

Otherwise, you get one folder with a zillion files in it.

Excellent. Glad to hear it.

I’m not sure what you mean by “writing a wrong url in the address fields”. What address fields are you referring to?

I’m not sure about your coding. Is it set up like this?

<Files .htaccess>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
</Files>

And is the “IP” replaced by an actual IP address?

I would not disable the 404 page because:

(a) it serves a specific purpose on servers — 404 is the server code for “page not found”; it’s not just for search engines, and

(b) if you disable it, it’s very likely that the server will just use its own 404 page … you know, the ugly, shocking one with the gigantic black type that serves as a dead-end to both surfers and search engines.

You can use a customized 404 page (looks like your site, contains info you want it to contain). If you need to give people an “extra menu”, it would probably be better to just put it on your site somewhere.

They’re not asking for the whole code (we can see it on the posted link) — they’re asking whether they’re anything before the opening <? in your feed-rss2.php file.

So: is there anything before the opening <? in your feed-rss2.php file? There should not be … no spaces, no nothing. The file should just start with <? and nothing else.
