Ok, I was trying to be clever by pulling the contents of the b2evolution/blogs directory out and plopping those into the webroot so that the URLs would look like:

http://www.example.com/

instead of:

http://www.example.com/blogs/

I believe I actually did this with an older version of b2evolution some time back, but it doesn't work now.

Anyway, I achieved the desired result by putting the whole tree into the webroot, and then added 'b2evolution/blogs' to the webroot path, and voila!

Erm, hope this makes sense if the next person comes along with the same problem....

hi john, and welcome to the forums.. and thanks for the feedback..and just for information.. the instance name in the ../conf/advanced.php might have caused this problem..

$instance_name = 'b2evo';

you are strongly advised to change this to something unique right after the installation
