Subdirectories likw BLOG do NOT load?

version 1.3.8a

Couple days ago I installed Wordpress blog using Fantastico. It worked fine, But, today when I try to access the blog it just loads the home page?

It looks like your rewrite is interferring somehow as even trying to force it with /blog/index.php sends one to the root index.php which is ZenCart

Check if the "blog" is actually a subfolder below your zencart (i doubt that)

Also, 1 more thing to note, you should have got to a "page not found" when you visit that link, whichever seo module you are using (assuming ssu), make sure you are at the latest version, this is how it should behave:

http://eazy-templates[dot]com/blog

you will see a page not found

The Blog sub folder is at the ROOT (in public_html folder). The SEO URL was installed for Zen 1.3.8a.

Any idea on how to resolve this issue?

I really dont think the blog folder is there, because if it is then the redirection will not happen.

But, you can also make sure by:

1. make sure your seo module is up to date
2. also, if you are using ssu, added "blog" to the page exclude list.

Although I dont see how the mod_rewrite kicks in when the blog folder is really there

Can you turn off the url rewrite just to see of this is the issue?

If requesting a page that does not exist one should get a 404 error But this does not even throw a 404 error when a known page that does not exist is requested????

Yup, which is why I told him that whatever module he is using he should upgrade. Im assuming SSU here, but who knows. If it is SSU it is not working the way it should. The content of the htaccess file should be posted here as well.

Yes, it is there , unless I am hullucinating. Kobra can confirm the blog folder is there on my host server..??

Kobra,

Try ,
http://www.cvtreasures.com/blog

Then check the host server and you will see the Blog folder with all Fantasico installed Wordpress subfolders.

You really should answer all the questions so we can help you faster. You never let us know which seo module you are using, which version, as well as the content of the htaccess.

Kobra wont be able to confirm if the folder is there unless he does have access to you server (maybe he does, I dont know)

What was the result of turning off the SEO Url's to check if that is the issue or not??

THe answer to question on SEO mod is version 3.5.8

I turned the SSU Status to OFF but /BLOG page still won't load. I even added the BLOG page to the exclusions list in SEO Manager but not change.

Guess I'll just forget about Blog for now.

Again, I will say that something is wrong with

1. either your htaccess setting
2. or the blog folder is not really in the folder you think it is

Kevin,
Next to last ditch attempt, switch to the classic template and see if the blog page loads....might have to manually enter it, but even this does not work with your current template.

If the above does not work some core file must be altered versus overriden in your last site re-make
Now Last ditch effort - create another install - maybe in a subdomain
Fresh files - add import the live DB. Add a blog. add the link in ZenCart

Or if you are handy avoid all the last stuf and copy/FTP the files to your local and diff/merge them against a default set and you should see no differing files that you can not explain - You might stick to just the /includes dir for this

Yellow1912 - Do me a big favor and just don;t respond to my posts anymore, just a bit too obnoxious, and you know what I'm talking about.
