WordPress.org

   Sooo, sometimes I try to figure out how to fix my problems, and my intuition makes a moron of me.

   I need to remove my wordpress.org powered blog from its address at http://zoostation.somjuan.com . Instead of properly managing my domain settings, I went in the general settings and made up a new URL: http://zoothousand.one.com . Now I can't access my dashboard or my administrative controls or anything because it tries to access a URL that doesn't exist.

   Is there any way I can fish it back out of the internet vortex?

   Add the correct site url to your wp-config file like this (replacing url to your url)

   define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://YOURSITE.com/wordpress');

   which in your case looks to be

   define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://zoostation.somjuan.com/');

   In my case, when I tried to change the Wordpress URL into
   http://www.mysite.com/ from http://www.mysite.com/wordpress
   but keep the blog URL at
   http://www.mysite.com/wordpress
   then I started to get 404 Not Found error.

   I have deleted all the files, then reupload, but still getting the same 404 error.

   By chance I added the slash to the end of wordpress/ and got into mysite, but when I changed back the setting of wordpress URL to make both of them using the wordpress folder, I got the same error again.

   My plan is to delete all the files (since this is a new site I set up for a friend), then reinstall from scratch. But I just wonder, is there away to replace one file only and not the whole wordpress 2.6?

   Thanks.

   When I tried the url http://www.mysite.com/ I then get this error message:

   Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /homepages/11/d247793599/htdocs/..../wordpress/wp-config.php on line 2

   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /homepages/11/d247793599/htdocs/..../wordpress/wp-config.php on line 2

   Any suggestion on how to correct that?

   I check my wp-config.php and no '\' there.

   Sorry for riding on this topic.

   Finally, after re-uploading the wordpress, creating new SQL database, I still got the same error, so I called the tech support of the hosting service, and they edited the wp-config.php for me. Now it works.
