software conflict leading to page not found error message

  • I have wordpress installed in the root folder of my webspace so wp sort of handles the whole webspace as for dealing with file and page requests from visitors and if it doesn’t find something a page not found error message page is shown . . .

    great basically but now I am creating another website with another software (zenphoto) in a subdirectory on my webspace . . . zenphoto seems to operate with virtual / temporary folders or whatever so I am getting page not found errors from the root folder wordpress installation for links concerning that subdirectory and content of the other site . . .

    so quick summary of the problem and related question:

    can I set wordpress to NOT care about that one subdirectory on my webspace where I want to host my other website? as in not caring whether a requested file is there or not and not showing a page not found error message page . . . but letting the request go through, letting zenphoto handle it or letting it hit the wall – server 404 error message but just not caring about anything about that subdirectory at all?

    THANKS and Happy New Year ??

    I have WordPress and Zenphoto running fine in the same setup.

    In your zenphoto folder, check two files.

    1) The .htaccess
    What’s the base folder set to?

    2) The zp-config.php (I think it’s in zp-data folder).
    Has a bit like this:

    ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Path Overrides
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Uncomment the following two lines ONLY IF YOU'RE HAVING PROBLEMS,
// like "file not found" or "not readable" errors.
// These allow you to override Zenphoto's detection of the correct paths
// on your server, which might work better on some setups.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// define('WEBPATH', '/zenphoto');
// define('SERVERPATH', '/full/server/path/to/zenphoto');

    You may need to define those.

    I shall not edit source code after drinking champagne (or something remotely similar) so I will look into that tomorrow but I am thrilled to hear from you that you got this working without conflict so that this could work out for my sites too – am looking forward to trying out your advice tommorrow so already thanks a lot for your reply
