Hi, I've rebuilt two sites now, and anything that requires a working directory structure isn't working properly. I have no idea how it's doing this. I don't see anything in my templates, and I haven't messed around with the back-end code much. An example would show this best I think.
/                   <- root of site
/About/             <- sub-directory
      /Policy/      <- sub-sub-
When you're on /About/, any generated links get mapped to /Policy/ and NOT /About/Policy/ - of course this results in a 404 error. I used to be able to use relative links or absolute ones to get the links I want, and now I can't do either. The generated link results in a 404 due to the stripping of a directory. I don't know if it's related to the fact that I have one ikiwiki install under another (/blog/ under / is also ikiwiki), but both are FUBAR. > what do you mean by generated links: do you mean the output of > [[ikiwiki/wikilink]]s?

<div class="map">
<ul>
<li><a class="mapitem" href="./Policy/">Policy</a>
<ul>
<li><a class="mapitem" href="./Policy/Microblog/">Microblogging subscription policy</a>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>

I was thinking it was my template that was broken, since yesterday, but I couldn't see what. Thank you very much for your eyes.
