• Hi

    My host changed servers and all websites now have a new IP address.

    I have the same domain name and I assume the host runs the same nameservers, though my host and domain name provider are different.

    Note I never entered into my blog, a Name or description under General/Settings. I left them both blank. That is when I could log into it.

    Note: the wp-config file, has ‘localhost’ entered rather than a specific IP, again this has always been the case and my host never advised otherwise.

    I can get into Cpanel but simply putting the newly advised IP infront of ‘/Cpanel’ however I can not reach the admin panel of my WordPress blog.

    I had been loggin into it via
    http://xx.xx.xxx.xx/~abcefg/abcefgblog/wp-login.php, my host suggested to simply insert the new ip in place of the old one. I still get the error message

    “404 Not Found

    The server can not find the requested page:
    Apache/2.0.63 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.63 OpenSSL/0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 PHP/5.2.12 Server at 74.50.108.14 Port 80″

    After finding this link

    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/535534/wordpress-host-ip-changed

    I have logged into myPHPadmin and found the wp-options table and searched for “SELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE option_name IN (‘siteurl’, ‘home’)”

    Only option ID 39 came up and the results are
    ‘Home’ has optionvalue
    http://abcefg.org

    ‘siteurl’ has optionvalue http://abcefg.org/abcefgblog

    Both of which appear correct. Is there any part of the mysql tables where I can change an actual IP address? Or is there something else you can advise?
