Post Reply? I am having problems executing Perl scripts from subdirectories in my Wordpress install. It is currently set up so that usr/home/main is my wordpress install, and I have scripts in usr/home/main/folder1 which I would like to run. What happens is that the server returns a 404 error when it sees some scripts, but not others. DreamHost support sent me over here with recommendations to modify the .htaccess to exclude certain folders. I have looked into this elsewhere on the internet and have modified it from being: # BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress and have changed it to: # BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(folder1|folder1/*)$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress There is no change between the two. Is there something I am doing wrong, or should be doing differently? Thanks
