• I’ve had this problem for a long time, but never really bothered to deal with it. A couple months ago, I installed Flock and used the blog tool to connect to my WordPress blog and made a test post. It wouldn’t automatically detect the blog so I put in the xmlrpc.php information to get it working.

    I can’t say I’m completely sure this is the cause, but since then my index page is completely blank. No files are missing, and the actual index.php file is still in tact with the normal code. Not sure if it means anything, but viewing the source of my blog shows nothing at all.

    It’s only the index though, every other page works fine. I can access the administration area, view individual posts and archives, etc.

    I’m about ready to get it up and running but I have no idea what to do. I upgraded to 2.0.4 just now and that didn’t work.

    Here is my blog’s URL: https://www.sqthreer.com/

    Oh, and I also have index.php in the root directory while all other files are in /blog if that helps.

  • Oh, and I also have index.php in the root directory while all other files are in /blog if that helps.

    This may be the explanation. You are using pretty permalinks, such as https://www.sqthreer.com/post/stest.
    This means you have an .htaccess file written by wordpress when you set your permalink scheme. This file is there to cause a redirection of the visible URL to the actual URL.
    This fails if you have the the WP installed in /blog.

    You may want to read this for a solution.

    If you don’t need to have index.php in the root, just move it to /blog.

    It was working perfectly fine before. I read through all that stuff and purposely kept the index away from the rest because I wanted my root directory to be the link to my blog without cluttering it up with everything else.

    I said in the first post that it was okay until I tried posting to it with Flock.

    I don’t know about Flock, but I tested to get
    https://www.sqthreer.com/blog/index.php
    and it says “No input file specified.”.
    Are you sure you don’t have an index.php also in your /blog/ directory?

    Sorry I cannot pinpoint what your problem is.
    Another thing you can try if haven’t done so already, would be to check your permalink structure and just press the “Update permalink structure” to ensure that the corresponding redirects are set correctly.

    I’m not sure what you’re trying to say. There is no index.php in the /blog directory. I had everything working fine with no problems. I’ve had the blog for a year or so. The only thing I did between the time it would show up and when it wouldn’t is connect to it with Flock. I didn’t change anything in the administration.

    Flock needed the location of my xmlrpc.php file because it wouldn’t find my blog on its own. Would this have anything to do with the problem?

    No.

    Okay… Well is there anything else you’d like to add?

    -_-

    My problem doesn’t have anything to do with a “no input file” error.

    Let me summarize:

    My blog was fine.
    I connected to it with Flock and made a post.
    My blog was no longer fine.

    What doesn’t work is the root of my blog (https://www.sqthreer.com/) where the index.php file is.

    I don’t get a “no input file” error when I go to that link, I just get nothing at all. Every other page EXCEPT the index works fine.

    I have tried replacing the index.php file with a new one, but there wasn’t any difference in the two.

    Hopefully this will clear some things up.

    ………

    That isn’t where the index file is SUPPOSED to be. It’s supposed to be in the root directory, sqthreer.com/ which is where it is.

    The blog FILES are in the /blog/ directory.

    Does anyone else have some ideas? Do I need to just do it all completely from scratch and delete the database and reinstall everything? I didn’t have anything on the blog so I wouldn’t be too against that, but if it can be avoided I would surely like to know.
