Hi,
The other night, I foolishy told wp that the location to itself was 'index.php' (i know!), so now every time I go to my site:
website.com/wp-login.php
and enter my login details I get redirected to:
mysite.com/index.php/wp-login.php?redirect_to=%2Fwp-admin%2F
Now of couse I can't login, as 'index.php' is not a directory, but how am I supposed to fix it with out being able to login?
TIA :)

If you have access to phpMyAdmin, you can go through it to access the WP database and modify the wp_options table. You will see the field marked 'siteurl'. You would change that to 'http://website.com' and you should be up and running again.

Same problem. Changed the site wp locatioin to index.php (moron!)
I'm in phpMyAdmin but when I go to the wp_options table I see no field marked 'siteurl' Is their another field to look for???
Thanks so much for taking me (us) this far -

You need to check 'site_url' and 'home' values in the table wp_options.
In phpmydmin, click the Search tab, and enter part of your url to search for. The results should show two results in wp_options.
Click Browse next to that.
wp_options has a lot of info in it which is why you could have missed it. -

Okay. Got to where I needed in phpadmin and changed the siteurl (blog id) now my password is no longer accepted. I have two passwords I am sure where the old passwords which no longer work.
I sent in for my Lost password but it has not arrived in my account. According to the database my email is correct that WP would have sent to -

Never mind. Apparently I do not know how to cut and paste properly. I'm in!
Wow. I'm so happy to have such an awesome community of developers/followers of WP to help out so willingly and readily. Thanks Podz-your time is appreciated!
