In reply to: Weird comments in blog!I’m clueless. Could it have something to do with an RSS feedback or something similar?
Log in as a “stranger” and request an RSS feed back to your own IN box and see if that creates something similar.

In reply to: I have internal link problemsJust had this problem and was told to create a .htaccess file in the WordPress root and make sure WordPress has write access to it.
It worked.

In reply to: “more” and other front page links go to 404 pageThanks a million, iridiax! The links all work.
Didn’t have to ask the host (they don’t do a good job of replying anyway). But I did have to open up .htaccess write permission all the way (I feel naked and exposed). No other combination would work.
Does WordPress need access to .htaccess very often? If not, I’ll lock it down again. If so, I’ll just have to live dangerously.

In reply to: “more” and other front page links go to 404 pageThanks iridiax!
Hoo boy! I’m using a host for the site, so I have no access to the kernel.
Had no trouble creating an .htaccess file in the root folder for WordPress. (I hope I did it right — I didn’t use a Directory wrapper, just a single line
Options Indexes FollowSymLinksBut I’m not sure how to do the File Info directives since the instructions at Allow Override says it’s only allowed in a Directory Context (whatever that is). Can you give me a leg up on this (I’m far from an Apache expert)?After I accomplish all this, what do I have to do in WordPress to repair the problems that exist? Do some sort of “refresh” operation?
Sorry to be a pain. None of the links on the home page are working, they all seem to have this disease. Very frustrating.

In reply to: How do I display excerpts of posts on my index page?I have a related problem.
<!--more-->on the front page is working just fine, but when you click on the link, you get a 404 page.On the one example I have, the link is: …blog address…/2008/10/02/watered-down-writing/#more-12. I looked in the files and the folder 2008 doesn’t exist, let alone the rest of the address.
The only thing I can think of is that I have a couple of options that are fighting with each other over where the full article belongs. I can edit the article just fine from the admin dashboard, so it’s out there somewhere.
Any ideas of where to look?

In reply to: No connection to databaseNow, can anyone tell me if I’m supposed to restrict the access to the file area where WordPress lives? If so, what level?
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: No connection to databaseMy problem was more with HSphere than WordPress.
-To do the job, Go to MySQL Server and add a database.
-Name it anything you want.
-Create a user with DBA powers for the DB.
-Let’s assume your website account is MYDOMAIN.COM and you’ve chosen to name your DB, “WPDB” and you user, “BIGBOSS”.
-You’re going to end up with something like this:
-Database name: MYDOMAI_WPDB
-User name: MYDOMAI_BIGBOSS
-Password: whatever you chose
-Path to the domain: localhost
This may not be correct. If you go back to the MySQL Server screen, you’ll see the correct path at the top of the box. Copy and paste that path into your wp-config.php file. This is where I messed up.
-Now go below and create some jaw-cruncher KEYs. The utility mentioned works great.
