# permalinks linking to wrong folder

 * I’ve been asked to take over management for an existing site, which includes 
   a wordpress blog, which I have no prior expierence with.
 * The permalinks are pointing to the “archives” folder, which according to the 
   documentation is correct. The blog folder, however, also contains a “archive”
   folder (note the missing ‘s’).
 * When a user clicks a permalink, they are directed to a “300 multiple choices”
   error page. If the resulting url is changed from “/blog/archives/” to “/blog/
   archive/” the corrrect page appears.
 * Any idea how I would go about fixing this? The documentation mentions a .htaccess
   file which this site lacks.
 * To sum up, this site contains a archives and a archive folder.
    New pages are
   being writting to both. Permalinks are pointing to archives, which don’t work.
   Altered links to archive do work.
 * thanks,
    da

 * There shouldn’t be any physical folder with those names in a normal WP install!
   That’s the problem.
    What files are in those folders?

 * My mistake.
 * The blog is generated by Moveable Type, not WordPress.
 * Mea culpa,
