Have you checked out the tips/instructions here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress
If you changed the URL in the setting page, you’ll (almost always) need to move the files somewhere else to match the new URL.
Yes I did. I want to switch back to the /wordpress site, followed the to restore but it is still gone. The url is worldimpactbayarea.org
Any thoughts?
Well, the files seem to at /wordpress/, site throwing off an error now.
Are you able to access the error logs for the server–it should give us an idea of why the error is occurring and an idea of how to get it back up.
If you can access the logs, please copy and paste the error message here (or if it is more than a couple of lines, use http://pastebin.com/ and post the link to it).
How do i access the error logs? What kind of information do I need to do that? I have access to the back end of the site, as well as FTP access.
Thanks.
Contact your hosting company’s support to ask them where to find the error logs. The server logs aren’t part of WordPress, so they could be a variety of places depending on your host’s config.
I will contact them and let you know soon!

This doesn’t appear to me to have the info I was hoping to see– right now, at http://worldimpactbayarea.org/wordpress that page isn’t working, returning an internal server error. This log doesn’t contain information that error.
I suppose you may need to be more specific and ask them for the web server logs (apache, etc). I’ll ask for some other folks to chime in on this one too.
Brandon, Thanks so much for all you help. This is awesome to have such a great support network.
This is the full log, I thought it was repeating the same error maybe not?
<script src=”http://pastebin.com/embed_js.php?i=18APyxR1″></script>
did I do that right. Maybe this works? http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=18APyxR1
You did good :-). Quick glance says we’re not getting the right errors recorded. Let me get a second opinion.
I’m sorry for asking you to keep going back to your hosting provider. Can you ask them to enable PHP error logging, or at least, explain that we’re trying to determine what error is causing the 500 error at the /wordpress/ site on your page.
No prob. I will get a hold of them soon.
Here is the PHP error log
[28-Jan-2013 15:03:02] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘/usr/local/php/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/magickwand.so’ – libXext.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
Hi there.
I may be wrong, but it seems like you might have messed up the path to your Home and Site URLs in the Admin Panel. To override that modification, what you could do is hardcode your old values into your wp-config.php file as defined in this section of the corresponding Codex article. That should override the values you set in the Admin Panel.
If your site was working prior to that change, you should be able to restore it. If you have already moved your blog to the new location, then try hardcoding the new values in there.
Cheers!
