mod_rewrite not working?

9 months ago | vetto (Member) | |

My host's apache server has mod_rewrite enabled, and I have permalinks set up in WP (default permalink schema). My site has .htaccess files, but I can't download with the Drain Hole plugin.

My hole is:
Files: /home/username/downloads
URL: www.domain.com/blog/downloads

The WP installation is actually in /blog not in my webroot(/home/username/public_html)...does that make a difference? where should the .htaccess that is getting modified be? I assume it is the one in http://www.domain.com/blog/ but it only reads:
# BEGIN WordPress

# END WordPress

Any thoughts?

    The drain hole URL should be a URL relative to your site, not an absolute URL. For example, /downloads (www.domain.com/blog + /downloads = www.domain.com/blog/downloads)
