Hello Eukhost Forum

Has anyone there had an experience with the option all Eukhost/WordPress users now have of updating their core files through either the new internal update facility available in the WP dashboard or through the Fantastico update option in Cpanel? I've tried the internal WP update and it now says updated in WP, but in fantastico this has not been registered.

Also, there seems to now be a .htaccess conflict between my WP installs in subdomains and addon domains. I had always been aware that on previous versions of WP installed via Fantastico, that because of the way Eukhost server is set up, I had to further install my own .htaccess file in order to make custom permalinks work correctly in WP (this had been automatic on my previous host).

Previously, when all my WP installs were set up and upgraded via fantastico only with my added .htaccess files, all my WP installs (in both subdomains and addon domains) had coexisted fine. However, since doing the internal upgrade on all sites via the WP dashboard this is not the case. I now can have either have my .htaccess file for each WP set up correct for addon domains OR subdomains, but NOT for both. This happens because if I change a .htaccess for any of my WP installs it makes a universal change across all installs.

The end effect is that while all homepages still work fine all the time, the installs without the incorrect .htaccess file have all their internal pages are down. So at present, I have the option of having either all internal pages down in my WP installs in addon domain or in subdomains (luckily ally my subdomain installs are all for testing only - so I went for that).

Has anyone else had a similar experience? is there a fix? The problem lies in this line in the .htaccess file:

RewriteRule . /subdomain/index.php [L] (correct for installs in subdomains)
RewriteRule . /index.php [L] (correct for installs in root directory of addon domains)

I'll update if I get any further myself.

PS - Thanks to George for his help so far
