10363	Permalinks with a Static Directory Fail if the Static Directory is Accesed Directly	e39m5	ryan	"This is fairly straight forward.
My permalink structure is this:
""/blog/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/""

If I access myblog.com/blog, a 404 is thrown.  I was forced to add a line to the htaccess file that redirects myblog.com/blog to myblog.com.  I believe this request should be handled by the software though.

There are two options here, both should be given to the administrator.

The first is to REDIRECT to the root directory, the second is to simply SERVE the root directory.

So, say my permalink structure is this:
""/blog/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/""

If ""/blog"" is accessed and REDIRECT is set, the user will be redirected to the root.
If ""/blog"" is accessed and SERVE is set, the user will be served the blog at their current location.

I can't think of any reason why someone would choose SERVE because it kills SEO, but you never know.

I can't imagine I'm the only one that wants my page in the root directory while my posts appear in the /blog directory.  This is definitely a bug."	defect (bug)	closed	normal		Permalinks	2.8	major	wontfix
