 * My main website (html) is sitting in mydomain.com/public_html/blog and I can’t
   access it at all from the www. (‘404 not found’). I already have some html pages
   sitting under public_html and so I used a sub-directory as above to separate 
   wp. Any suggestions please?

 * Sorry, that first line is a bit confusing!!! I should have said that the wp files
   are sitting in mydomain.com/public_html/blog and that the other html pages are
   under public_html !!!

 * Why not post a link to your site? Are you sure it’s not mydomain.com/blog

 * I have tried that as well. In fact I have tried a few different combinations 
   to see if I could get in there. I can post an actual link to the website if you
   want to have a look, but at the moment, you only see an old html website that
   needs to be trashed!

 * It doesn’t hurt to post a link…may or may not help. Who is your host?

 * The host is Darkscape.net
    They seem pretty good. Mine is a relatively basic 
   package but it has MySql (which I have set up) so should be ok.

 * Actually I think I have found the problem. The MySQL is not set up properly. 
   So I might end this topic and post at a later stage if I continue to have dramas.
   Ta Figaro for your interest.
