After the move there was some confusion regarding the .htaccess file that I never resolved.
It came to pass that I could no longer include an .htm file in the root without the link defaulting to index.php.
When I installed the new version of serendipity last week for a new blog, funebrity.com I tested it to see if I could put a .htm in the root and had no problem there.
So I took the new .htaccess file (that was very plan) and uploaded it to the old blog rackjite.com. It stalled for a while and then loaded. I put a .htm file in the root and it loaded fine too.
But with the new .htaccess file none of the serendipity links work, I get a 404 or a 403...
I would really like to resolve this issue as I have 25 big html pages of original content (about 200,000 words) that moving to the root would knock their google page rank up one or 2 as they were a year ago when it was a webpage rather than a blog.
Below is a paste of last September's .htaccess file which I am presently using. Can something be done in this file to solve this? If not are there other options? Upgrade? Re install?
The files I want to move to the root are in /web.
I have one htm file in the root now which goes to index.php instead.

Also I do not use FRONTPAGE anymore so I dont know what that stuff down at the bottom is either...
Thanx
