Can't use a Blog as a sub-directory.

[Jingaling]

Hi guys,

i'm trying to add a sub-directory to my site that's a wordpress blog. So when people visit http://motorbikecommunity.com/blog, they get the WordPress site. I've uploaded the WP files to /blog, but when I navigate to /blog, it redirects to this URL: http://motorbikecommunity.com/blog/?pretty;board=blog.0

I'm using the PrettyURL modification, so it may be something to do with that. However, I imagine I just need to "whitelist" /blog within .htaccess so that it inspects to sub-directory. However, I don't know how to do that.

Any help, as ever, would be very much appreciated.

Thanks guys!

It is related to Pretty URLs and you should check for help in that MOD's support topic
