Server doesn't see /blog/index.php

I have the blog add-on installed and it has worked perfectly in my local environment. Locally, to view the main blog page I created a new page called blog and defined the location to /blog/index.php.

This behaviour is very different on my production environment. The blog page is redirected to my default page template. I was told by my hosting provider that "blog isn't a folder, therefore the request has to be forwarded to a router instead of interpreted literally". They suggested I need to add a rule to the .htaccess file and point the posts to the right direction. Is this the right way?

Hi Magdalena,

It's interesting that they say that blog isn't a folder, because it should be. Have you double-checked that the blog folder is in the root directory of your server, and the index.php is inside it?

Hi Simon,

I definitely have a folder blog in my root directory, and it has the index.php file. I was just wondering if anyone had a similar issue with hosting. I thought everything will pretty obvious to set up there.

I was just wondering if anyone else had a similar problem.

Thanks, Magda

It turned out there was an issue with my hosting, should be fine now.
