Has the domain been properly added to your hosting account, or are you merely forwarding and/or masking it from your domain registrar to the IP address?
Hi James,
Thanks for the prompt reply.
Yes the domain is properly configured. My website is hosted on AWS-EC2 and using the Route-53 DNS to configure domain.
My website is accessible through my old link –
http://crossroadscode.com/wordpress/
But I changed it’s location to be at home http://crossroadscode.com
Even the website theme is also not loading at my old address.
I know this is due to some home/site path settings. But not able to figure out what i am missing.

Yes i follow the link,
Initially when i host my website through IP
My WordPress Address – http://123.45.67.8/wordpress
My Site Address – http://123.45.67.8/wordpress
After getting domain, through admin setting I changed the WordPress Address and Site Address as follows –
My WordPress Address – http://crossroadscode.com/wordpress
My Site Address – http://crossroadscode.com
After that my website goes down.
Then I moved the index.php file to /var/www/html/
and create .htaccess file with following content at /var/www/html/
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
But still my wordpress website is not showing at my domain home. I also removed the index.html file from /var/www/html but still not showing wordpress home page.
Thanks for your patience.

Ok,Now i get my site up at my home page.
My bad – added the record set for http://www.crossroadscode.com not for crossroadscode.com in my host zone.
Adding it solved my problem partially.
But still my website theme is not loading.

Is WordPress’s index.php file in the web root for that domain?
Is there an index.html or home.html file there too?
http://www.crossroadscode.com/ is working fine seems to be a domain problem.
But now my theme is not loading properly.
While loading resources(ex – http://crossroadscode.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-syntax/css/wp-syntax.css?ver=1.0), there is an error in chrome console –
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)
I set the site url – http://crossroadscode.com
I set the wordpress home url – http://crossroadscode.com/wordpress
When i created the symbolic link for wp-content in my /var/www/html folder (/var/www/html/wp-content -> /var/www/html/wordpress/wp-content/) than my sites loads properly.
When i click on any links, it still contain wordpress – http://crossroadscode.com/wordpress/index.php/2016/03/07/difference-bw-encoding-encryption-ing/
Expected url – http://crossroadscode.com/index.php/2016/03/07/difference-bw-encoding-encryption-ing/
How should i update the urls?

Personally, I still see the Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page at both http://www.crossroadscode.com/ and http://crossroadscode.com/ so I suggest sorting that out first with your hosting provider’s support.
I suspect clearing that up may fix WordPress too.
I checked it on 2 3 systems site is up. May be a cache problem.

If problem still persist let me know.

Still seeing the default page even with my browser cache cleared, might be DNS related and thus propagation is an issue, but there isn’t much I can suggest from this point besides that appears to be the problem.
No problem, might be the DNS problem. Will fix this issue later.
Thanks for your help James 🙂
can i interject here with the same problem or should i start a new ticket?
