    In General settings i changed the WordPress address (URL) and the Blog address (URL) by removing the .... /wordpress from both. Now I am unable to get into the dashboard. Ok, dumb I know, can I undo it??
    Thanks for your help.

    Consider using phpMyAdmin to make sure your wp_options table has the correct values in siteurl and home.

    siteurl is your WordPress address (URL) and home is your Blog Address (URL).

    And, some other info:

    --------------
    Once your site is back working, to make WordPress available at http://mydomain.com in Settings->General, change the Blog address (URL) to http://mydomain.com and put this index.php file in your web-root folder (it is the same folder that contains the wordpress folder)

    <?php
    /* Short and sweet */
    define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
    require('./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php');
    ?>

    Then update your permalinks by visiting Administration > Settings > Permalinks and clicking on Save Changes.
