Installation troubles

[jack]

I have the s9y in [http://www.mysite.com/blog],but i can't visit unless input [http://www.mysite.com/blog/index.php]. Without "index.php" ,it shows up " The page cannot be found",i can't visit it.

Also, please be as clear and concise as possible, since I tried finding this out from the embedding guide here to no avail.

Your server is IIS, meaning you cannot take advantage of the built-in .htaccess functions of Serendipity.

What you need to do is in your hosting control panel select the default page to display when visitors come to your site. I suspect it is currently set to look for index.html which doesn't exist.

I have already select the default page by IIS that including "index.php"and "index.html",but still can not use http://www.mysite.com/blog/ directly.

i'm sure the index.php is operating.I found the index.php including 404 pointing when i read it.I think that is others problems.

For example, I create a index.php inside the importation of 123,use http://www.mysite.com/blog/ url,it can display 123.

Hi!

This must be a IIS issue, it works properly on Apache with the .htaccess method.

I don't do IIS administration, so I can't help you, sorry.

You might need to check with your host that ASAPI_rewrite or similar is installed.
