In reply to: WordPress address..Rewrite rules help please ?Root – I didn’t put WP in the cgi-bin; I put it in the cgi server. (I was having this problem earlier: http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic.php?id=30374)
podz – When I upload all the files, and try to run the installation file, this comes up: http://www.distant-voices.com/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php
But when I tried this again in the cgi server, it worked: http://cgi.distant-voices.com/wordpress/

In reply to: WordPress address..Rewrite rules help please ?“Active Web Hosting does not use cPanel as we have our own hosting control system which is accessible from the Account Administration Page.”
I use SmartFTP.When I started installing wordpress, I made the wp folder in http://distant-voices.com/mariam but it just wasn’t working. Then I took a look at my host’s faq and it said wordpress must be installed in the cgi server.
Perhaps I should find a new host, haha.

In reply to: WordPress address..Rewrite rules help please ?Thank you for your response, but I am not sure how to achieve this. How do you “put wordpress in /public_html/mariam” ?
I emailed my webhosting provider with this same question, and their response was:
“One possible idea would be to put the wordpress output in a iframe on a web page in the directory where you desire it to be. Only the cgi server can run such scripts so the actual wordpress script must be on the cgi server. If you want the entire web page for the wordpress page to seem as if it is coming from that site or directory you can always place it in a single frame on a web page in that directory.”
Would this be the best (only) way to do this?
Sorry for all the questions!Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Still having trouble installing wordpressNevermind, I figured it out. My original question was “Is the cgi-bin the same thing as the cgi server?” – which is the problem I was having. I did not understand how to use my cgi server b/c I didn’t know what it was. Thank you.

In reply to: Still having trouble installing wordpressThank you, but I do not understand the difference between the cgi server and the cgi-bin. I’ve also uploaded the wordpress folder outside of the cgi-bin folder, and I had the same problem.

In reply to: Still having trouble installing wordpressOh, I see. But I still do not understand where it should be uploaded – if not in the cgi-bin folder, then where? Thanks.
