Joomla 2.5 integrating wordpress

I have a Joomla 2.5 website and I've added a Wordpress blog to it:

htdocs is the joomla site htdocs/blog is the wordpress blog

I've tried to set up a menu item to point to the blog by setting it up as an external URL:

www.domain.com/blog

However, Joomla keeps throwing an error:

Save failed with the following error: A first level menu item alias cannot be 'our-blog' because 'our-blog' is a sub-folder of your joomla installation folder.

I can't get it to work without hacking the database or the core code. Is there a simple solution that I'm missing?

If you are selecting menu item as an external URL, then this error should not come... - Rahul Kaushik
that's what I thought. I've tried rebuilding the menu but it still comes - user1616338
The current Joomla 2.5 sub version is 2.5.19, so check if your Joomla version is 2.5.19, if not please upgrade it. - Rahul Kaushik
I am using the latest version - user1616338

Have you triple checked that you are indeed selecting the External URL link and not the Menu Item Alias, and that for the URL you are using http://www.domain.com/blog ?enter image description here .

Also, if you have other menu items pointing to this same blog link, delete them and clear your menu trash.

Good luck!
