Trouble Installing 4.0 Beta under Wordpress Folder Structure

[arretx]

My Apache2 server has a wordpress site installed at my root domain. I had, at one point, successfully installed 3.2.X in a subfolder called /faq (i.e. https://domain.com/faq).

In an attempt to install 4.0 beta, after backing up everything, I ran into some problems.

1. When I opened https://domain.com/faq/update, I was redirected to my root wordpress site's 404 page. I attempted https://domain.com/faq/update/index.php and I saw the PHPMyFAQ 4.0 update page, but the update button was disabled. Using the console, I removed "disabled" from the html and clicked the update button. I was taken through a few steps, but nothing actually happened, and redirection to the FAQ page yielded the same wordpress 404 result.

2. I completely removed all traces of phpmyfaq from the system and started with a fresh install of 4.0.0-beta. When I opened https://domain.com/faq, I was forwarded to the setup folder, and was presented with the same wordpress 404 page. So, I pointed directly to https://domain.com/faq/setup/install.php which seemed to kick off a setup process. After entering everything, no database was populated, and the 404 result happened again.

For the life of me, I cannot get my wordpress site to ignore everything below /faq. It seems to be processing the /faq folder correctly, otherwise I don't think I would see an automatic bump to the setup url when accessing it.

Any ideas? Is there something specific I need to add to the wordpress .htaccess that I haven't already added according to many tutorials I've come across?

Hi,

did you change the base URL in the .htaccess file provided by phpMyFAQ?
