Do you know if you’re using the same database from the first install? You may need to update the site url and home options in the database. Or you may need to look at your .htaccess file, and see if it is causing some kind of redirect.
search all your database tables and find yoursite.com/blog and rename it to yoursite.com

I’m using the same database. I can delete and create a new one, if necessary. At my hosting site’s control panel, I changed the database from pointing to “/blog” to “/”
For the .htaccess file, I have one in the “/” folder that says:
Action x-mapp-php3 /system-bin/php5exe
Action x-mapp-php4 /system-bin/php5exe
Although it doesn’t have a .php file extension. I didn’t put it there, so I think it’s a result of making sure that PHP 5 was used in my hosting website’s control pannel.
I have one more .htaccess file in my /log folder:
Options +Indexes
RemoveHandler .html
RemoveType .html
AddType text/html .html
Satisfy any
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from 212.227.112.228
Deny from all
AuthType Basic
AuthName “Access to /logs”
AuthUserFile /kunden/homepages/19/d429180378/htpasswd
Require user u000000
How would I go about changing my database tables? I’m using Filezilla, is there a file in my /log directory I can change? Sorry I’m so clueless!
You cannot alter your database tables from Filezilla.
First login to your control panel and look for phpmyadmin.
When you go inside phpmyadmin, it will sometimes ask for your mysql username and password.
After the authentications, you can access your database.
Then select the database and use the inbuilt search function to search for yoursite.com/blog and then when you find them, edit them to yoursite.com
