 * Ok…
 * So I’ve install wordpress on my server in the folder /blog
    I’ve made my [http://www.domain.com](http://www.domain.com)
   point to /blog I’ve enabled permalinks so my posts are like this… [http://www.mydomain.com.au/2007/01/new.html](http://www.mydomain.com.au/2007/01/new.html)
 * Which is good and all, but now [http://www.domain.com/blog](http://www.domain.com/blog)
   list all the folder contents. I just want it to redirect to [http://www.domain.com](http://www.domain.com)
 * my .htaccess file..
 * <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule

 * It would be easier to move your blog to the root folder.

 * Just put an index.html page in the /blog folder, if you want it to redirect, 
   you can use
 * Redirect /blog [http://mydomain.com](http://mydomain.com)
 * in you .htaccess file

 * Actually, I tried the redirect, and it kind of knocked my style out.
 * But if you put an index.html file and used a simple redirect code in the header,
   that may work. I don’t know, maybe someone else should try.

 * You cannot have an index.html in the root of the WP install!

 * I thought there might be a way to .htaccess it, and say anything that ends in
   blog then redirect it…
 * eg..
 * [http://mydomain.com/blog/](http://mydomain.com/blog/)
 * would redirect
 * but not
 * [http://mydomain.com/blog/wp-login.php](http://mydomain.com/blog/wp-login.php)

 * “It would be easier to move your blog to the root folder.”
 * It would, yes. But that’s not the point.
 * I’d then end up with loose files and folders, making my root very hard to find
   files.

 * “You cannot have an index.html in the root of the WP install!”
 * Well, that’s a surprise since it works for me.
 * We may be thinking differently, but I’ve got no problems with it there.
 * The install and blog address are different….
