Hi. I installed wordpress at http://www.mysite.com/blog and everything was fine. I built the site and it is ready to be published. I did this because I already have a site at the root folder. Now I will delete the old site and move wordpress to http://www.mysite.com.
Do I have to do anything else other than changing the url of the site in the configuration page of the administration?
Thanks

Posted 5 years ago #I am sorry I need to add to the question: Do I need to reinstall wordpress or is it enough to copy the blog folder contents and paste it in the root folder?

Change the addresses to what you want in Options.
Then move the files.
If you have any problems, post back :) -

Posted 5 years ago #Hi, I'm having a similar problem - I copied my site from a test server (http://www.aie.net.au:666/dbmb/) to a new host (www.dbmb.net), and the login is broken. I changed the siteurl and home values in the database with phpmyadmin, but whenever I go to the login page I get the following PHP errors:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/tinman/public_html/wp-config.php:37) in /home/tinman/public_html/wp-login.php on line 373
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/tinman/public_html/wp-config.php:37) in /home/tinman/public_html/wp-login.php on line 375

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/tinman/public_html/wp-config.php:37) in /home/tinman/public_html/wp-login.php on line 379
... when I put in a valid login and password, I get an error saying "Error: The password field is empty". An invalid password promps "wrong password", and an invalid user prompts "wrong login". I checked the password fields in mysql, and there is data there (base64, is it??).
Any ideas? Perhaps I munged the SQL import.... -

Posted 4 years ago #Hi,
I've installed Wordpress 1.2.1.1 into a subdirectory of the webserver's document root. The subdirectory is just called "wp".
The install.php worked fine and the database is set up as expected. The problem is when I try to log in.
All the other files required by wp-login.php are expected to be directly in the root. I get the following error:
Not Found
The requested URL /wp-admin/post.php was not found on this server.
Files are being searched for directly in the root and the "wp" subdirectory is being ignored. I put an "echo ABSPATH;exit;" line into wp-config.php to see if ABSPATH was correct and it is.
It translates to "/u/htdocs/wp/" which is correct. I tried another install, this time directly into the root and that setup works fine.
Must wordpress be located directly in the document root?
thanks in advance,
Denis
