Dustin SandersHello all. Thank you so much for helping me with my issue as I am very frustrated that I can't get this to work. I'm going to copy and paste my short forum interaction on the forums of my Hosting service that I feel is not adequately able to assist me any further. Here is the pasted conversation so far:
Hi all, sorry if this isn't the right forum category ...
Here is my current blog URL :
http://prodigypianostudios.com/pianoteachersblog/
I would like to switch it to the following :
http://prodigypianostudios.com/eclecticpianoexperience/
Please help me to change my URL and if possible, be specific as I absolutely SUCK at this kind of stuff and probably won't understand 80% of the jargon that you may use.

Login to your wordpress admin and change the url / path as above
Then connect via sftp and rename the directory itself

My reply:
Hi, I just did this as you stated and it didn't work.
This is what happens when you try to access the new URL:
http://prodigypianostudios.com/eclecticpianoexperience/
What I did was changed the URL in both places allowed in the wordpress admin, there were 2 spots I could change it. I figured it was best to change both.
Then I changed the name of my folder in dreamweaver from 'pianoteachersblog' to 'eclecticpianoexperience'
I was then asked if I wanted to update all the files to be 'eclecticpianoexperience-wp-signup.php' or 'eclecticpianoexperience-wp-settings.php' , etc
Then I put the files to future quest.
that's pretty much all I did.
What did I do wrong / not do correctly?
This was at the bottom of the Chrome error:
"HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request."

Thanks so much for any help given. :)
