I cannot get the blog to show up on my top level .com address. It only shows up with xxxxx.com/serendipity

Any suggestions?

Sorry, things seem to be a little slow lately.

What exactly are you trying to do: redirect yyy.com to your Serendipity home page, or cause Serendipity to display yyy.com when it shows the overview page? Or something else that I'm just not getting?

For redirection, you'll have to either create a default index.html that redirects to your blog, or you'll have to modify your rewriting rules in .htaccess. I've not sure about the second possibility; Garvin has mentioned before that you need a subdirectory so S9Y knows whether it's displaying an article, category, or frontpage.

in your .htaccess file at the root of your web directory structure, try:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php <your blog location>/index.php

You can have s9y running at top-level without problems.
