    My blog URL was supposed to be mydomain.com/blog, why did it end up as mydomain.com/blog/index.php?

    How can I fix it?

    BTW this is on a crap web host, the one with a reptile as a logo. My other blogs on another web host doesn't have this problem.

    Then you should be able to add a folder named blog and place all of the Wordpress files into it.

    That's what I did but it still didn't work the way I wanted.

    I've installed wordpress a few times on 2 different web host only this time it totally messed up. That's why I'm seeking help here.
