Update:

I created the file called .htaccess, and a new folder called htaccess (no “dot”). I dropped the folder into the root directory of the blog and then dropped the .htaccess file into it. What continues to happen is that the file moves to another location, by itself. It also appears that there is already a file called .htaccess in the wp-includes folder. Strangely, when I navigate to that folder to check it out I am unable to find it! When I search it out by entering “htaccess” in the FTP client’s search window I can locate it. The gods seem to have it in for me.

In any event, the existing file seemed to have the exact same code in it. So, to sum up, yes, I do have that file already, but no, it is in a different location and I can’t make it stay in the root directory of the blog.

Thanks for your help.

Let me give that some work … thanks for the reply; Much appreciated!

I went to line 17 in wp-admin/index.php and found this line:
require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);

If that’s any help. Here’s the entire file. Its pretty short.

<?php
/**
* Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn’t do anything, but loads
* wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
*
* @package WordPress
*/

/**
* Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
*
* @var bool
*/
define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);
?>
