[resolved] Can't install to root (3 posts)

    I installed WP via my hosting provider's admin console; however, it required that I install to a sub-folder.

    I did this but now want to move the files to the root.

    I tried moving the files to the root and editing the DB [http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/site-url/] so that this:
    "www.mysite.com/wordpress" entry became "www.mysite.com".

    The homepage works but when I click on any WP links I get a page error.

    Also, I tried installing to "www.mysite.com/wordpress" and then changing the "Blog address" value in the WP admin to "www.mysite.com" but get the same problem as above.

    Any ideas?! I need help.

    Thanks.

    Disregard this post! Everything was working. I just had to clear my browser cache. Ugh.
