Do not name your stub file index.php. Index.php is an existing file that is needed for B2evo to function. So restore this through uploading a fresh copy to the server. You find it in your original download, or download again where you must note the correct version.

Good luck

Thanks Afwas, I understand what you mean, but surely it doesn't matter if the files are in a different directory. I have loads of ordinary static files with the same names but in different directories and they never cause problems. However I think I've worked it out now - I should have installed the whole thing to the root directory. B2evo obviously can't handle having the stub file in a different directory to the main files.

b2evo can happily live in a sub directory, but you need to add the path to these two lines of your stub file :

/**
 * That's it, now let b2evolution do the rest! :)
 */
require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/conf/_config.php';

require $inc_path.'_blog_main.inc.php';
?>

Thanks - I've always thought that bimbo was a misnomer when applied haphazardly to blondes!
I tried what you suggested but it's giving exactly the same results. But I may be putting the path in wrongly as I know nothing at all about php. Perhaps you would be kind enough to indicate exactly where I should insert blogs which is the name of the subdirectory where the main files are.
Thank you

Actually, you should only need to add it to the first line :

require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/your-sub-directory/conf/_config.php';

You are an absolute gem. It works exactly as it should now. Thank you a hundred times.
