Title: Configurations? Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Configurations? * Resolved [jayef](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jayef/) * (@jayef) * [18 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configurations/) * My host had a network transfer and after the transfer, they had a subdomain change, now I can’t get into my wordpress directory to view my wordpress blog and admin panel. I asked them and they said there’s somethihng to do with updating configuration beacuse of the sibdomain change. * So is there anyway that i can do so or if it’s other problem, how do i solve it. * PS: the other stuff and files in my directory are exactly the same as before, just that i can’t load the wordpress directory.

Specifically, in what folder does the wp-content, wp-admin, and wp-include folders reside? * Thread Starter [jayef](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jayef/) * (@jayef) * [18 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configurations/#post-656874) * well, it’s in home/public_html/www/blog/ * does it matter? oh yar, i’m using cPanel by the way * Thread Starter [jayef](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jayef/) * (@jayef) * [18 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configurations/#post-656877) * I’m still stuck with this problem… * Thread Starter [jayef](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jayef/) * (@jayef) * [18 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configurations/#post-656883) * Okay, I think I figured out the problem. * I have just one last question, If all my files are there, all the comments themes, databases, posts, category, so on and so forth, if I do the installation (as in go to wp-admin/install.php), will all my data be lost? * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [18 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configurations/#post-656884) * Yes. I mean yes, if your wp-config file is pointing to the existing database… running the install on it would wipe out everything and give you a blank, empty new blog. * I still don’t get it what are your trying to do. * Thread Starter [jayef](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jayef/) * (@jayef) * [18 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configurations/#post-656886) * okay, then i guess what i thought cannot be done. * you see, i have this blog quite well developed with many posts, categories and stuff like this and my host went for a network transfer and when I came back, everything was alright (as in the database, files and stuff) just that I can’t seem to load the site anymore. What came out was 404 error. the things are there, but yet 404 error. I don’t get it. * Oh yea, and the admin told me that it could be because of the sub-domain change that caused this problem. * Now I am desperately looking for a way to solve this problem. * Thanks. * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [18 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configurations/#post-656887) * All that stuff about your host I could read in your initial post already. Do not repeat yourself. * Give details, man! What was the setup before? Was you blog in a subdomain? A real one or a fake one? (fake=redirected to a subfolder) * Were the files moved because of whatever the host did? * If you looked into the DB – what are the values for “home” and site_url” in the wp_options table? * Thread Starter [jayef](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jayef/) * (@jayef) * [18 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configurations/#post-656890) * Sorry. * As I said the directory is home/public_html/www/blog/ therefore, the domain was [http://thetales.vlexo.net/blog/](http://thetales.vlexo.net/blog/) * It’s not a subdomain, it’s a sub-folder. The host changed it’s subdomain from. com to .net. That’s was what i was trying to tell you about the sub domain. * Carrying on, the files weren’t moved at all, still same as before. * Well, I went into the DB, I changed the values in site url and the problem’s still there. By the way, I can’t find ‘home’, where is it in specific? * Thannks. * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [18 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configurations/#post-656891) * As you found “site_url” – try to find “home”, too! Be aware that the table has, amy rows, so it is paged… Click on those right arrows > * Don’t mention again **subdomain** because I’ll throw out my computer. NEVER use words that you don’t know their meaning: .com and .net are NOT subdomains! * Thread Starter [jayef](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jayef/) * (@jayef) * [18 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configurations/#post-656892) * I do know the meaning of sub domain, i meant thetales.vlexo.com. okay okay, sorry to get you so fired up. really sorry.. * Anyways, thanks very much as the database changes really soved my problems. * Thanks very much. * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [18 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configurations/#post-656893) * Glad it worked. And for future reference: .com and .net are **domain extensions**.
