• Problem: The domain name does not get reflected properly in the address bar for WordPress alone.

    Details: I have a web hosting account at AstaHost.com. I have my main site, driven by Drupal. I have a domain name wisetome.com that is parked there. I also have the WordPress engine installed in the public_html/cao directory. Hence, when I put https://www.wisetome.com/cao it properly goes to my blog, but the addressbar changes automatically to https://www.kmaheshbhat.astahost.com/cao . This does not happen to the Drupal site in the root, or the SMF forum I instlled in another directory public_html/caorpg. It happens only for WordPress blog (atleast for my install).

    Attempted: I changed changed both WordPress Address URI and Blog URI to https://www.wisetome.com/cao but it does not reflect in the addressbar.

    Tested with: IE 6.0+, Firefox 1.5.0.7

    Theme Name: ChinaRed
    Theme URI: https://www.bighead.cn/?p=100

    WordPress version: 2.0.4

    I seem to be overlooking something. If someone would point me out, I would be grateful.

    PS: Sorry that the post is littered with URLs. ??

  • I visited https://www.wisetome.com/cao and looked at the HTTP headers. For some reason, it is sending a 301 Moved Permanently when you access the home page, but not when you access a permalink.

    What URL do you want to use for WordPress? https://www.kmaheshbhat.astahost.com/cao or https://www.wisetome.com/cao?

    Can you show us the contents of your .htaccess file? It may contain some rules that you may have put in to redirect.

    ?? I am sorry, I do not know what a 301 Moved Permanantly means.

    I want to use https://www.wisetome.com/cao for the WordPress.

    The (public_html)/cao folder does not contain any .htaccess file.

    The (public_html) contains a .htaccess file:

    #
    # Apache/PHP/Drupal settings:
    #

    # Protect files and directories from prying eyes.
    <FilesMatch “(\.(engine|inc|install|module|sh|.*sql|theme|tpl(\.php)?|xtmpl)|code-style\.pl|Entries.*|Repository|Root)$”>
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    </FilesMatch>

    # Set some options.
    Options -Indexes
    Options +FollowSymLinks

    It does have rules to redirect the psuedo paths with in the Drupal engine. But, when it actually finds a folder or file, it gives the actual folder or file, instead of redirection.
