    No i have realy done something realy stupid and destroyd my hole website 🙁

    On my website http://truemoneymaker.net , where WP was installed in the mail directory (/), i wanted to have a site before the WP site that redirected to the WP site, the reason for this is that i wanted to have a add that everyone had to see before they was redirected to the main page. But when i tried to make this work i did something very stupid;
    I changed the WordPress adress (under Options – General) from http://truemoneymaker.net to http://truemoneymaker.net/index.htm (where i had the redirecting page with the add).

    So now the site just dosen’t work, the mail site ( http://truemoneymaker.net ) look terrible and the admin area dosen’t work, so i can’t change the setting.

    I have tried to add a copy of the “wp-admin” folder in a folder called “index.htm”, but it didn’t work 🙁

    WTF should i do now? How can i get into my options and change the settings back?

    Stupid as i am i dod not take any backup before messing with the settings, so if you can’t help me i am in big trouble.

    Pleas help me, this site is realy importent for me.

    Hope so, if i don’t i don’t know what i should do, i have put a lot of work into this site 🙁

    Silly people! Don’t be afraid of the search here, it really is rather useful.

    Try this to fix your problem: http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/site-url/

    Remember that those URI values shouldn’t point to fantasy locations.

    I have now installed it, but what password should i use to log in to the phpMyAdmin ?

    The WP password or the password to my ftp-account dosen’t work.

    Neither do the password i configured in the config.inc.php file

    Edit: Neither do the password from my database (the one specified in the wp-config.php file)

    Pleas help me…

    Where are you hosted that you had to install phpmyadmin yourself? You shouldn’t stay with a host like that for a moment… Every decent host nowadays offers phpmyadmin in their site admin panel.

    Try the username / password that you specified for the db connection in your wp-config.php file.

    I get this message (whatever username/password i use…)

    “Error
    #1045 – Access denied for user: ‘admin@localhost’ (Using password: YES)”

    So it dosen’t work with the password from the wp-config file either…

    I got it working now!
    Didn’t know that the password in the config.inc.php file had to be the same as the one in the wp-config.php file…
    (I realy need to learn some more about php, MySQL and how all this work….)

    Thanks for all the help!
