Problem resolved. It turns out that on XO.coms servers there is a program that forces all domains back to the root domain, and this was in an alias of the root. When we complained, someone suddenly found a “plug-in” which fixed the issue… Huzzah!

Thanks

Sorry about the time delay: issue stil not resolved. I was waiting for my son with an MS in Comp Sci to help do this. He telle me that he did exactly what you suggest, but when we type https://www.myXXX.org/blog the site simply reverts to https://www.myXXX.org/main_page still.

(I assume you realize that my url is not myXXXX, that’s just a placeholder).

However, now we can open a blog page, if we enter a post #. Then the blog opens to that post. But, NOT if you just expect the index.php to go to the blog by itself.????

I jjst went through all the directories and subdirectoies in the blog , and there is no file with a name like that.Maybe that’s the problem?

Where would the *_options file be located? Somewhere in the blog directories? SJP

That’s exactly the ISSUE. I have no idea where to look for the “database”. The whole blog simply assumes that everyone will know where that is, and what it’s called, and provides no instruction as to how to locate it. Someone told me that I would have to learn SQL and know far more than I do to even attempt that, or I could upset the whole Wiki installation? True? SJP

But we are trying to set up the blog for a wiki-clone site, and it needs to be in a subdirectory called XXXX/blog. When I got to login, it sent me right back to the index page of the root directory, which was the wikiclone main page.

The absolute location of the blog.
