Blogging and .htaccess

[Frostie]

I installed Wordpress last month and selected that it displayed and filed my posts in a specific way, however by doing so, it has meant that the .htaccess file has been updated and I have just realised my site no longer works

Just wondered if anyone could have a look at the attached files and tell me what I need to do so that the blog and the website work hand in hand?

The website examples are;
Homepage: http://www.webaffiliate.co.uk
Blog entry: http://www.webaffiliate.co.uk/blog/n...2007-west.html
Website page: http://www.webaffiliate.co.uk/uk/aff...etwork/Buy.At/

The homepage is fine, the blog entry is fine, but the rewrite rule isn't working any more

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,

make a seperate .htaccess file for your blog in /blog/ ?

Website now works, but deeplinking to blog doesnt

Blog: http://blog.webaffiliate.co.uk or http://www.webaffiliate.co.uk/blog
Deeplink: http://www.webaffiliate.co.uk/blog/n...2007-west.html

Do you have access to your Apache logs? You might be able to see the HTTP requests which will give you an idea of what page is being called (the GET request) and why its not working. I presume its redirecting to your homepage as the htaccess redirect is getting a 404 from the page its trying to request.

Try emptying the .htaccess file and let wordpress write to it again?

Ah ha!

It was in the permalinks section - i put the base url as being ...co.uk/blog instead of ...co.uk/blog/

Voila - I think all is working Thanks all
