to clerify, the problem come in when I don't point to a specific file (eg index.php) when I enter the www.mysite.com/subfolder/

This is still not very clear to me...

thanks for responding. I still haven't found a solution through my searching. This link is the error: http://www.wvallen.com/v2/ even though there is a file in the subfolder: http://www.wvallen.com/v2/index.htm

thanks for your help

I still haven't figured out an answer. Has anyone else?

See, this is a problem of the inner functions of folderblog. The script is able to "interpret" subfolders like parameters, by doing some stuff with the server configuration.

So, if in the main directory of wvallen.com there is folderblog installed and automatically gets activated (because you configured it like this), any subdirectory will be interpretet as a folderblog parameter from then on. The index.htm will simply be "overseen".

What you do for solving this issue depends on what you want. My first guess is that you have to modify your htaccess file and tell it some exceptions for your wanted regular subfolders.

So, I've spend quite a bit of time playing with htaccess but have found no answer. Could anyone provide more details to the solution? Thanks!

Can you please post the content of your current .htaccess?

Plus, tell us exactly what you modified in folderblog after the first installation.

here is the content of my file:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteRule ^.*$ %{REQUEST_URI}/ [R,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [OR]
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} /photos$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?p=$1 [L]

I haven't modified it since the first install

The problem is here
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?p=$1 [L]

It redirects all the traffic to the index.php. I would avoid the entire htaccess or put everything of folderblog into a separate folder instead of the root of your server.

THAT IS IT!!! thank you!
