 * I’m still working on this if anyone has any further ideas. A couple of updates
   since the last post…
 * I am hosting with Dreamhost and noticed that the default AllowOverwrite was set
   to None. I’ve since changed it to All and restarted apache.
 * I have also noticed no matter what settings I set and apply in the permalinks,
   WP doesn’t seem to write to the .htaccess file, even though it gives you the 
   impression it has, “Permalink structure updated”. If I check the modified date
   on .htaccess it hasn’t shifted since the day I installed WP. If I check permissions
   on .htaccess they are currently 644, same issue if I test with permissions set
   to 777.
 * If I rename the htaccess file and save permalinks WP doesn’t recreate the htaccess
   file.
 * I’m really not sure if the above are normal or significant?

 * Thanks for the reply, that’s what I thought originally but couldn’t get things
   happening.
 * As per the Codex, I’ve copied in index.php and .htaccess to domain.com/site making
   the appropriate edit to the path in index.php.
 * In site settings I have updated the following…
    siteurl = domain.com/wp/site 
   home = domain.com/site Path on the Info tab remains as /wp/site/
 * I’ve even updated Permalinks for the fun of it, however, when I go to domain.
   com/site WP tells me not found and if I use [http://www.domain.com/site](http://www.domain.com/site),
   it redirects me to the main WP site (domain.com/wp/) and not domain.com/site 
   as expected.
 * I’m obviously doing it wrong.
