Frontpage Extensions Issue

[Richiedude]

Ok so I got FP Exnternsions to work w/adding in a mod_rewrite to my HTaccess file to force www by:

adding Options +FollowSymlinks after the FP stuff in the htacces and
by doing the same to the htacess files in these folders:

_vti_bin/

and in that folder:

_vti_adm
_vti_aut

Again - in each of those 3 folders I modifed the htaccess to have

Options +FollowSymlinks

WORKS LIKE A CHARM!!!

NOW HOWEVER:

For a folder that I have installed wordpress blog (I uploaded via FTP and do not update or maintain using Frontpage) I tried changing the permalink structure which requires adding another modrewrite to the htaccess file:

Options +FollowSymLinks
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Whever I add this - FP extentions get broken.

Any idea why I can use this:
Options +FollowSymLinks
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^uvtv\.info [nc]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.uvtv.info/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

to force WWW - and that WORKS but the one for the Wordpress blog BREAK FP extensions??????

What type of platform are you using? Linux or Windows? Also, did you select the right platform when you downloaded Wordpress? There are two.

Any reason why you are using FPSE? I am not a *NIX person at all unfortunately but it sounds like you might not need to use FPSE (since they are probably being done away with anyway).

Also, when you use FTP, this can corrupt the FPSE and they might need to be repaired.

I found a solution by moving the htaccess file Wordpress needs to function the way I want to the folder that the wordpress main folder is, instead of the root directory.

Now everything co-exists nicely -
