Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

What is not working...if you dont specify,we dont have crystal balls to look into..

Thanks for the reply. I was very frustrated when I wrote that post haha. I'm still getting this message "file not found site.com/blog/wp-config.php" when I go to http://www.site.com/index.php?main_page=wordpress.

I tried to uninstall and reinstall and it's still there. Is it because I am installing wordpress in its own directory /blog?

Thanks for the info. I guess I will have to install wordpress manually since godaddy's hosting connection won't allow me to install wordpress into the root since zencart is already there.

Godaddy hosting does not always play well together with
Zencart..how it fairs with Word Press..no idea..search zen cart forums for Godaddy.

OK, so here's a funny quirk... I had similar troubles getting WP in my ZEN cart. I have WP in a seperate directory than ZEN - like this

root/blog/ - here is my wp
root/store/ here is my zen

so i do the install and follow all the instructions and get an error

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/DOMAIN/html/store/includes/templates/template_default/common/html_header.php:22) in /home/content/DOMAIN/html/blog/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 850...

seems that if i do the url like this it works with out the error...
Domain.com/store/? -- yes, just a plain question mark after the url... totally weird.

but like this and I get an error:
domain.com/store/index.php?main_page=wordpress

food for thought.. i will mess with it, but if there are suggestions I will take them.

I've seen this question asked before but I can't seem to get pretty permalinks to work. When I change my blog address to "whateverblogname.com/blog" and use the following in .htaccess:

RewriteRule ^blog/ index\.php?main_page=wordpress&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

it works but I'm not able to access my admin anymore.

I just looking to get permlinks working for SEO, does anyone know how?

swamyg1, THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

I was starting to doubt that I would be able to use pemalinks with WOZ, but then I came across your post. I had to change my entry a little bit. I don't have "blog" as part of my URL, so this is what I used:

RewriteRule . index\.php?main_page=wordpress&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

Thanks again for taking the time to post!

I too was messing around with this myself earlier today. I discovered that there are actually THREE alternate URLs that bring up the main blog page. Any one of these seems to work.
http://www.yourdomain.com/?
http://www.yourdomain.com/?cat=0
http://www.yourdomain.com/?main_page=wordpress

A friend discovered that third URL.. So I am grateful for his help.. (Thanks Phillip!)

So I am going to make a few adjustments to some of the WOZ, and WordPress files to hammer this the rest of the way in place. Then I will be able to present a REAL WORKING version of this mod with v2.7 where the main blog page REALLY works.

What a PITA this mod has been!

Also wanted to add this.. The friend who looked at this for me made a very valid point.. Though no one ever posted a real link proving that they got this to work straight on with WordPress v2.7. (By straight on I mean this mod working using the correct blog main page link without using the alternate links previously posted) he surmises that perhaps some folks probably had one of the SEO mods in place on their site. This might explain why they did not experience the issue with the http://www.yourdomain.com/index.php?main_page=wordpress link throwing an error..
