installation: mod_rewrite and .htaccess

Sorry… it should be <?php phpinfo(); ?>
Have you installed wp ? I see a list of files in that directory.

ok, corrected the info.php file and now I get the following info back:

I have installed wordpress and so far just put in one test post and configured my options.
I am unsure about which files I am supposed to CHMOD and at what stage in the proceedings. Do I just CHMOD 666 individual files as and when I want to change them? Or are there any files I should do this to immediately?
And why does every link come back :
File Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.
???? It’s scaring the hell out of me! Help!

mod_rewrite is there.
CHMOD ? index.php. the css file, wp-comments.php for now and others as needed.
Have you created a permalink structure and got wp to make the .htaccess rules ?
Did you correctly follow this ?
https://www.ads-software.com/docs/installation/different-address/
And it’s not scary – All will be well soon ??

ok here goes.
I created a file in notepad called .htaccess (but it has a .txt at the end that I don’t seem to be able to remove) and copied this to https://www.petiteanglaise.com/web where the index.php file also lives. Amen says this file needs CHMOD 644 which it does.
The text it generated by WordPress for my links is below:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^archives/category/(.*)/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$ /wordpress/wp-feed.php?category_name=$1&feed=$2 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^archives/category/?(.*) /index.php?category_name=$1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^archives/author/(.*)/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$ /wordpress/wp-feed.php?author_name=$1&feed=$2 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^archives/author/?(.*) /index.php?author_name=$1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^archives/([0-9]{4})?/?([0-9]{1,2})?/?([0-9]{1,2})?/?([_0-9a-z-]+)?/?([0-9]+)?/?$ /index.php?year=$1&monthnum=$2&day=$3&name=$4&page=$5 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^archives/([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{1,2})/([0-9]{1,2})/([_0-9a-z-]+)/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$ /wordpress/wp-feed.php?year=$1&monthnum=$2&day=$3&name=$4&feed=$5 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^archives/([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{1,2})/([0-9]{1,2})/([_0-9a-z-]+)/trackback/?$ /wordpress/wp-trackback.php?year=$1&monthnum=$2&day=$3&name=$4 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^feed/?([_0-9a-z-]+)?/?$ /wordpress/wp-feed.php?feed=$1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^comments/feed/?([_0-9a-z-]+)?/?$ /wordpress/wp-feed.php?feed=$1&withcomments=1 [QSA]
Even with hidden files enabled in cute ftp I couldn’t find a .htaccess file already existing in my directories. The Amen website does say that the authentication module PAM is used on the Apache server and that a line should be added:
AuthPAM_Enabled off dans votre fichier.htaccess
I have just done this.
As far as the different files installation is concerned, I followed the steps and checked them about 10 times. Index.php and .htaccess are just in https://www.petiteanglaise.com/web. The rest of the Worpdress files are in https://www.petiteanglaise.com/web/wordpress.
I changed the index.php file to include /wordpress/ in the address as follows:
require(‘./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’);
?>
The template editor in WordPress can’t find index.php. It doesn’t find it unless it is located in the WordPress folder. What is going on!?
Thanks for holding my hand.
If you want all my access codes to check it out yourself because I’m clearly retarded, do let me know.

Okay..
htaccess will have the .txt extension when in your computer because that’s the way Windows works. Once it is on the server, use your ftp program to rename it to .htaccess
If you install into 2 directories like you have, then the template editor does not work for those files that have been moved – in this case, it’s index.php
You can change that by downloading the file ‘templates.php’, finding the list of files that it lists for editing, and changing the path for index.php – if you do download it, edit it in Notepad or WordPad.
And no, you are not stupid at all ??

*very cautiously*
I think that’s done it.
For now I’ll say goodnight as it’s 1am here.
Sincerest thanks for that. I feel like I’m finally getting somwhere.

Yup ??
Looks good !

Your stylesheet is probably a relative path, like “styles.css”
Therefore it’s looking for it in “/archives/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/styles.css” instead of “/styles.css” Make it an absolute path and you should be set! ??

Yup! Thanks, Brak!

… and BTW, have any idea on how to make the template work in a situation where the index is not in the wp folder?
