 * Basically I changed the folder where I had my blog installed.. now a bunch of
   links don’t work because they are pointing to the home directory. Where is the
   config file that wil let me set teh folder where wordpress should look for files.
 * ex//
    orginal root/index.php
 * now
    root/per/index.php

 * To modify your blog’s URL you’ll need to access your database directly. This 
   page shows how to do that if you use phpMyAdmin:
 * [http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/site-url/](http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/site-url/)
 * I’d suggest this Codex article on the best method for moving your WordPress installation:

 * Ok,
 * I was able to follow the steps at tamba2, but when I go into my options and try
   and change WordPress address (URI): and the blog address in General Options it
   tells me:
    Sorry, you need to enable sending referrers for this feature to work.
