 * Hello,
    I was trying to clean up my site, and I was attempting to move my install
   from mjnbrn.net/blog to mjnbrn.net/ben/blog. I keep getting internal server errors.
   I then did a fresh install to mjnbrn.net/ben/blog and got the same errors. I 
   was just wondering if it is possible to put wordpress in a sub sub dir.

 * I would not think that a problem, if all paths were correct.

 * Yes, I seem to have attempted the impossible here too, but from Fantastico.
    
   What I want is “www.sitename.com/directory/blog” but it will seemingly allow 
   only “www.sitename.com/blog” because all attempts to specify another subdirectory;“/
   directory/blog/” or “directory/blog” etc will not work. With systems such as 
   servers, which have fastidious requirements for syntax, it never fails to amaze
   me why people who write these installation instructions cannot simply provide
   a “Like this; ‘abc’ (without the quotes).” example.

   Thanks! I was using simple scripts to do my fresh install. I installed through
   the shell and it works.
