Then check the line 8 in blog/index.php ;)

THX!
I learned something (i.e.; ":8" means line 8! cool)
anyway still no go.

PROBLEM happens with a subdirectory: Relative to baseurl: http://bewell.omclinic.org/blog/index.php

NO PROBLEM with: Relative to baseurl: http://bewell.omclinic.org/index.php

What am I missing?

THANK YOU :-/

The stub file blogs/index.php is bad.
What you can do is move the file blog1.php to blogs/blog1.php, then rename it to index.php and edit the following line:

replace

require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/conf/_config.php';

with

require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/../conf/_config.php';

Functions PERFECTO!
Yeah baby -- sam2kb you are the BEST :D
