   Ubuntu LAMP
   Apache 2

   Yes, this is very similar to a thread I found.
   http://wordpress.org/support/topic/216661

   However, while adding in the wp-login.php does in fact get me a login in page (intending to change the theme) I get the "simplified login screen... that obviously looks wrong

   Title
   username
   password
   "remember me"
   Login button
   ..etc

   When I put in my credentials and login, I get a 404 error and noticed that the URL has change from /kenb/ to /blog/ which is I'm sure carrying over from before I moved the WP install to a more logical folder. I am suspicious of an Apache configuration somewhere and I am familiar with the apache2.conf file which I have edited in the past for the relocation of the WP install mentioned above. Here is the section of that file that I believe should be making it work right.
   # WordPress Info
   #
   #Alias /blog /usr/share/wordpress
   #<Directory /usr/share/wordpress>
   #Options FollowSymLinks
   #AllowOverride Limit Options FileInfo
   #DirectoryIndex index.php
   #</Directory>
   #
   #
   Alias /kenb /home/kenb/wordpress
   <Directory /home/kenb/wordpress>
   Options FollowSymLinks
   AllowOverride Limit Options FileInfo
   DirectoryIndex index.php
   </Directory>

   That is in-fact the folder structure
   home
   kenb
   wordpress
   wp-admin
   (etc)

   What other places should I cheek to verify these kinds of settings that would make the "login" button go to an old but not there anymore web file (index.php I'm guessing) I have searched the wp-login.php code and there are no references to a url path specifically called out as .../blog/... other than multiple variable callouts such as
   ( <?php bloginfo('name'); ) so i cant see where it is being told to go to this old path.

   i am obviously missing something

   Also when trying my domain/wp-admin
   it redirects to the /blog/ URL a 404 error with this:
   The requested URL /blog/wp-login.php was not found on this server.

   Hi,

   Check with these options:

   -> Disable all the plugins by renaming the plugins directory from FTP.
   -> upgrade your wordpress to the latest version
   -> change your theme to default to rules out theme level problem.
   -> Repair your wordrpess database and assign require permissions to database user.

   Thanks,

   Shane G.

   renamed plugins folder
   I am at 2.8.4
   I have seen help on this issue regarding themes. However I cannot login to change it to default.
   I have just restored to this new DB and I was getting a "cannot connect to database" until I flushed and verified permissions.

   Thnks for your suggestions. I am thinking the "themes" issue is to blame(makes sense actaully) but the url issue is keeping me from logging in to set that to the default.
