Unwanted redirecting by WordPress?

    I have one hosting plan. In that hosted space, I have 2 folders: one called ‘wordpress‘ and one called ‘eve‘. Both have an install of WordPress in it, they are 2 different versions.
    A domain name (exampledomain.net)points towards the root of my host, another (exampledomain2.net) points towards the ‘eve‘ folder. Also, I have setup a prefix to my root domain, pointing towards the ‘eve‘ folder (prefix.exampledomain.net).

    In practical terms, this means I can type ‘exampledomain.net‘ and access my main site; I can also type ‘exampledomain2.net‘ OR ‘prefix.exampledomain.net‘ to access the blog in my ‘eve‘ folder.

    Right now, there is some sort of redirect going on, probably on WordPress’ part (the one in ‘eve‘) that points the ‘prefix.exampledomain.net‘ automatically towards ‘exampledomain.net‘, which is wrong.

    My question is, how do I change this redirect? Is there a setting somewhere that will change this?

    Do you have the URL settings set correctly on the Settings->General screen?

    Do you have an .htaccess file in both the root AND the subfolder? Or just in one of them?

    I can’t see any .htaccess files. This is with many different FTP clients – I can’t see any. I think either my host is making them hidden or There just aren’t any.

    As for the settings, they are correct — siteid and home values have both been corrected, but… even though the prefix does exist and is setup correctly, it still sends me back to the root of my host – not the prefixed destination.
