Do I Need A Sub-domain?

[ednetman]

If I want to put a blog on my page at http://blog.MyPage.com do I need to set up a sub-domain?

 

I tried setting one up like that and all I see is a listing of all the files in that folder, so I guess I'm missing something.

 

Thanks!

No, you can set it up in your root as well as long you only have wordpress installed in the root.

As for the listing problem, did you also create a database for it and connect the wordpress installation with the database?

Yes, the Fantastico tool created one for me. nifty little tool, I'm sure I set something up wrong.

 

Can you take a look, or should I submit a ticket?

Are you trying to install it together with the content that already is in your root, ie the content/site I see in the url you gave us?

 

If so, that might be the problem, I believe you can only have one index page in each folder, this case the root.

 

I would create the blog in a subfolder/subdomain and then either link to it from the site or when move the blog from the subfolder to the root (if you want to replace the current content with the blog that is).

I want my site to stay the same.

http://edthecomputerwizard.com/

 

but I want to add a Wordpress blog at:

http://blog.edthecomputerwizard.com/

 

Right now, I just get an "Index of /" page when I look at the blog site.

The index page opens when I click on it and looks as it should but you should not need to see the file listing so I would open a ticket and ask the techs to look in to it.

Cool, thanks. I just tried it and http://edthecomputerwizard.com/ and it is still working as it should but http://blog.edthecomputerwizard.com/ is still opening an "Index of /" page. So, I'll open a support ticket.
