I have installed Wordpress (its brilliant) but it only comes up in the wordpress folder as the homepage:
http://www.domainname.com/wordpress
not
How do I load wordpress that homepage is under the domain name and not in a folder. When I intall Wordpress I;m sure the instructions tell me to load the entire folder.
Can anyone help please?

Neither the blog appears at http://poweroverwireless.com or http://poweroverwireless.com/wordpress nor can I log into the Wordpress Admin.
You seem to be calling the header from the wrong location. Based on what you're saying (about wordpress being installed in a folder called wordpress) you may need to change your index.php in the main root (http://poweroverwireless.com/index.php) to this:
<?php
/* Short and sweet */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
require('./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php');
?>Did you change the index.php file in the wordpress folder as well? If so, you should undo that.

<?php
/**
* Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
* wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
*
* @package WordPress
*/
/**
* Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
*
* @var bool
*/
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require('./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php');
?>
This is my index file, but I've moved the index file from the wordpress folder to main folder. Thats what it tells me to do isn't it?

Hi Can anyone help me with this, Im so close to getting things set up.
Anyone help would be greatly appreciated.
Okay, you need to have the index.php in the wordpress folder as well as the one above it. Not a move but a copy.
http://poweroverwireless.com/index.php and http://poweroverwireless.com/wordpress/index.php both have to exist for your site to work :)

Many thanks, but Ive tried that. On a help sheet it sais I had to change the php file under the root domain name. I did that and the root domain worked but whenever I clicked on the header it took me back to .com/wordpress
But now I have another problem, I changed the blog address to .com instead of .com/wordpress
Why is this part so difficult???? Can anyone help me, is there anything I can do?
I'm a whits end.
stop screwing around and read the documentation.
First - fix your 2 url's to where your blog really is located

now - if you want your blog to be in the root

If you want to leave all of your files in /wordpress and still have wordpress open in the root
