dear steve
thanks again for your help and investing some of your time on this.
after trying and trying all these different things I finally nave everything working but, believe it or not, was by doing something that is not recommended (according to my understanding) in all I have read so far .
I went into mysql database and in the options table I set both the HOME and SITE to the same address (mydomain_name/blog) et voila! somehow everything is working correctly.
if you have a thought on this please let me know.
THANKS.

OK. I went to wp-admin and set SITE to “my_domain_name.com/blog” and HOME to “my_domain_name.com”. (I rechecked these on the Options table of my mysql wordpress database).
Also, on /etc/hosts, I set 127.0.0.1 pointing to “my_domain_name.com”. Now besides no longer being able to login to wp-admin, others still can’t see my blog on “www.my_domain_name.com/blog”. First they see a page with a link to my blog which when followed get my website home page “www.my_domain_name.com” instead.
What a mess ?? I’ll continue to fight this.

Hi Steve,
Do I set my blog to use the domain name by (in the wp-config.php) setting the entry
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘my_domain_name.com’) instead of define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’) as I have it is now?
Is that it?
Thanks again for helping me for the second time. I’m grateful.

Thank you Steve. My ignorance is bothersome even to me ??
I did not relate the DP_PASSWORD in the wp-config.php file with the mysql (wordpress) password.
The password I had in the config file was the password to log onto wordpress admin pages.
So it looks like it is going to work. I have now the page to install the site.
Thanks a million.
