Hi,

To double check the configuration, let's say you are installing the script in the sub-directory /shopping/, line 6 of config.php should be as follows;

$config_baseHREF = "/shopping/";

And if using rewrite (search engine friendly URLs), line 5 of .htaccess

RewriteBase /shopping/

And then to install; browse to

/shopping/setup.php

If that all looks good, but the above returns your WordPress site's 404 page, that would imply that the .htaccess file in your WordPress installation is missing the RewriteCond lines that check for an existing folder before passing the URL to WordPress. A typical WordPress .htaccess would look something like this:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

If the two RewriteCond lines are missing from the version on your installation, insert them immediately before the second RewriteRule, and that should be all it is...

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
David.

Hello Annette,

That looks like the leading "/" is missing from the value of $config_baseHREF in config.php. Make sure that line 6 is as follows:

$config_baseHREF = "/comparison/";

That should be all it is...

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
David.
