    I went to the General settings panel to try and change my url and now I can't log back in. What should I do?

    I changed these settings from this:
    WordPress address (URL) : http://hydroponic-gardens.com/wordpress
    Blog address (URL): http://hydroponic-gardens.com/wordpress

    To this:
    WordPress address (URL) : http://hydroponic-gardens.com/
    Blog address (URL): http://hydroponic-gardens.com/

    and now I get this message: (I've tried changing it back but I still get this message) What should I do?

    Not Found

    The requested URL /wp-login.php was not found on this server.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
    Apache Server at new.hydroponic-gardens.com Port 80

    Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks,
    Fernando

    Consider using phpMyAdmin and in the wp_options table set the siteurl and home back to the original values.

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

    And, some other info:
    http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/site-url/

    Then when your blog is working, to make WordPress available at http://mydomain.com just change in Settings->General, 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 in Settings->Permalinks.

    Hello everyone,

    Thanks MichaelH,

    That was a big help. My site works again!

    But I was trying to setup the url without /wordpress

    Will this code help me do that?

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