Installed blog in: http://easleyforsheriff.com/blog/ Works fine.
What I want is for the blog to come up at: http://easleyforsheriff.com
How can I fix this?
Here is the error at: http://easleyforsheriff.com
Internal Server Error

Thank you for your help!

Both of those seem to infer that the blog is not in it's "own directory". It is in its "own" directory now: /blog/ . I want to move it (back) to the URL: http://easleyforsheriff.com - not in: easleyforsheriff.com/blog/ - which was a mistake.
What do I do to move just the index page to the main URL and keep the rest of the blog "workings" under /blog/ ?
All this trouble originated because of a hacker, and I did not load the new blog in the right place so now no one sees anything on the main page, even though I DID have an index page to point people to the blog but that wasn't seen either.
Thank you!
If you want the index to be at easleyforsheriff.com and the rest of the blog to be at easleyforsheriff.com/blog/ , follow this guide:

If you want to move everything from easleyforsheriff.com/blog/ to easleyforsheriff.com , follow this guide:

Alrighty then... see what I have now: http://easleyforsheriff.com
Warning: require(./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/easley4/public_html/index.php on line 18
Warning: require(./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/easley4/public_html/index.php on line 18
Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required './wordpress/wp-blog-header.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/easley4/public_html/index.php on line 18
Moved files as per instructions for: leaving blog in it's own directory and index in root.
Note that there is an htaccess in the /blog/ as well as in the root (already there). Moved the index.php also.
Edited (all w/ Code Editor at server) index.php to: require('./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php')
Also see: http://easleyforsheriff.com/blog/
What now?
You need to change the line to use your directory name for the WordPress core files. In your case that would be:
require('./blog/wp-blog-header.php');

Now I get this:
Redirect Loop
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
The browser has stopped trying to retrieve the requested item. The site is redirecting the request in a way that will never complete.
* Have you disabled or blocked cookies required by this site?
* NOTE: If accepting the site's cookies does not resolve the problem, it is likely a server configuration issue and not your computer.
uhhh... now what? :o)
At Settings/General in your admin panel, make sure that you have:
WordPress address (URL): http://easleyforsheriff.com/blog
Blog address (URL): http://easleyforsheriff.com
If that is correct, re-save your permalink structure at Settings/Permalinks. If WordPress cannot automatically edit your .htaccess file, it will provide manual instructions after saving.

How many strikes now? :o)
I'm still getting the same "Redirect Loop" as in my last post.
I get no instructions, or nutin'.

When I go to /blog/ as it used to be I get the whole index of the blog contents. So no site is showing in either URL.

No offense, but that does not help me one bit.
Can someone give me a reason for any of this? Meaning: How Can I Fix The Problems?

Can I re-install the "offending" Atahualpa blog and still keep the content? Please tell me how to go about it if possible.
I will give you user/pass to the Cpanel to fix the problem, if I can get an edress so it won't be posted here.
I'd really like to get this resolved.
Thank you.
My mistake by not making it clearer, I guess.
You need to get you blog out of a folder named wp_blog
I assumed you would see that from the url I posted.
Of course I could be not understanding this issue.
If so, sorry.

I have followed ALL of the instructions; per all the posts above.
What do I do and how?
@marjiec, you are seeing the 404 page.... you can go to http://easleyforsheriff.com/thisisapaininthebutt or just about anything and see the same page
it has nothing to do with directory....
@cowGirrl
you have all the wp files in the /blog directory?
you have the index.php in the root directory?
you have edited the default index.php to point to the /blog directory?
the .htaccess that was in the /blog directory is now in the root?
you have blog and WP url's set up as @macmanx pointed out above?
you've regenerated your permalinks? (save to default and test your site)
I just want to make sure I'm following along...long threads get convoluted

Originally and mistakenly the blog was installed in /blog. I want the site to show at: easleyforsheriff.com
index.php is in the root (/public_html/)
Not sure what you mean by "editing the default index.php to point to the /blog". If you mean following the directions above... done. No change.
There is an .htaccess in the root and /blog.
Permalinks were regenerated, saved, no further instructions. No blog has shown up in the either URL.
well....if you have the index.php in your root, pointing to
require('./blog/wp-blog-header.php');
and you have the proper settings in WP general settings (this is important) as was shown above, it really should work (its how I have my WP set up)
do you have any other files in your root messing things up?
you could try deleting or renaming the .htaccess file to see if its doing something strange

I changed the .htaccess in /blog and it made no difference. I get the "Redirect Loop" message.
The index.php points to: require('./blog/wp-blog-header.php');
I've "changed" it 3 times and no diff... with same results. No blog where it's supposed to be.

and I see nothing that looks suspicious in the files... I can send the plain text files, if you want to look them over (de-linked).
I meant the .htaccess in root..... something is keeping your index.php file from loading at all, that file seems suspect
rename it temporarily and see what happens

THAT WAS IT! Though the instructions said to copy that file in the root.
I renamed it to .atacc
The blog is now showing at easleyforsheriff.com
Should .atacc just be deleted then?
THANK YOU!!!
sure doesn't sound like you need it.
A new .htaccess will be made by WP when you customize your permalinks
glad we got that figgered out!

Hold on - now I can't get into admin...
didn't you say you were messing with an .htaccess file in the /blog directory?
that could be messing with the backend...rename that one now

What's the new admin URL?
I hadn't had a chance to change the permalinks...
http://easleyforsheriff.com/blog/wp-admin 500 error
http://easleyforsheriff.com/wp-admin 404 error
it'll be http://easleyforsheriff.com/blog/wp-admin
you backend admin stuff will still appear with the /blog subdir
frontend will appear to run from root

As above... it doesn't work. See url errors.
