Title: Everything’s gone wrong! Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Everything’s gone wrong! * Resolved [Dan Davies](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dansiop/) * (@dansiop) * [15 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/everythings-gone-wrong/) * OK So I had a wordpress installation working a-ok! I wanted to move it from the wordpress directory to the root directory. I followed the guide on wordpress. org site and thought I had done everything right. The the site wasnt working at all. * I had backed everything up and now I have put everything back as it was in the wordpress directory but there seems to be no CSS working and I am unable to access wp-admin. * Can anyone help me please get this back working and to move it to the directory that I want. * Thanks * Dan Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * Thread Starter [Dan Davies](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dansiop/) * (@dansiop) * [15 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/everythings-gone-wrong/#post-1553125) * Just for more information here is a link to the site. * [http://abodelets.com/wordpress](http://abodelets.com/wordpress) – it was working at this directory fine earlier. When I changed the WordPress address (URI)& Blog address (URI): and pressed save before moving i had a 404 page. * As you can see now I can’t even access the wp-admin. * [http://abodelets.com/wordpress/wp-admin](http://abodelets.com/wordpress/wp-admin) * The closest I can get to logging in is by using this link: (again as if no css present) * [http://www.abodelets.com/wordpress/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://www.abodelets.com/wordpress/wp-admin/index.php](http://www.abodelets.com/wordpress/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://www.abodelets.com/wordpress/wp-admin/index.php) * When i use the username and password i get an error stating * “Error 500 – Internal server error The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.” * Pulling my hair out over it as I really do not know where to start on getting this resolved. * Moderator [Jan Dembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/) * (@jdembowski) * Forum Moderator and Brute Squad * [15 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/everythings-gone-wrong/#post-1553131) * Your site is doing goofy WordPress-in-a-frame things. * Try fixing your URL. Your site is not `http://abodelets.com/wordpress` it’s ` http://abodelets.org.uk/wordpress/`. When you go to the second URL it’s almost there but portions get sent to that first address. * Anything that references `http://abodelets.com/wordpress` doesn’t work. * Back up your files and database * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Backing_Up_Your_Database](http://codex.wordpress.org/Backing_Up_Your_Database) [http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups](http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups) * Get ready to restore them both in case the bad thing happens * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Restoring_Your_Database_From_Backup](http://codex.wordpress.org/Restoring_Your_Database_From_Backup) * and try setting your site URL to `http://abodelets.org.uk/wordpress` by adding these lines in your theme’s function.php * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL#Edit_functions.php](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL#Edit_functions.php) * If something goes really wrong then restore your backup and you’ll be back at square one. * [farah-karimi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/farah-karimi/) * (@farah-karimi) * [15 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/everythings-gone-wrong/#post-1553133) * We run a Bollywood website called koimoi.com which means we are an image heavy site with plenty of articles. We also have embedded games from contests2win and plenty of videos. * When did we start with wordpress: On the 15th Feb, 2010 and full fledged (after changing the theme, etc) on the 25th March, 2010. * What exactly did we do: We started with wordpress.com , then moved to org. We were hosted on Bluehost. * Problems: Site kept going down a couple of times, then Bluehost suffered the DOS attack when we had to move. We decided to move to amazon. * Hosted on EC2, US West – Problems: Site was/is taking TOO LONG to load. * Our solution: Implementing load balancers (again still using ec2). Site went down thrice in one day, and went down again the day after that, since we weren’t on a support plan, we couldn’t ask anyone about the problem or the solution. * We are now shifting that instance to another in the Asia Pacific zone. (Our plan is to monitor how the site runs on this instance and see to it that the site is stable for at least 15 days before we do any further modification.) * The site still goes down without warning and we cant get to the controls to restart the instance. * We are still trying to figure out whether the site going down is a network issue or it is due to a setup / configuration error on our side. * It would be great if you could share your thoughts on the issues above. * Thread Starter [Dan Davies](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dansiop/) * (@dansiop) * [15 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/everythings-gone-wrong/#post-1553134) * I think I actually love you! * Amazing. * Thank you so much for that – so simple. * Awesome! * Moderator [Jan Dembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/) * (@jdembowski) * Forum Moderator and Brute Squad * [15 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/everythings-gone-wrong/#post-1553136) * dansiop, Glad that worked! Once the URL is fixed, you can remove those new lines from your functions.php. They are no longer needed. * **Farah Karimi – Start a NEW thread, do not insert an unrelated problem into someone else’s thread**. I’m not being curt, but you want people to focus on your problem. This one’s been solved. * Edit: Oh and dansiop? Get that Google API key sorted out at [http://code.google.com/apis/maps/](http://code.google.com/apis/maps/) 🙂 * Thread Starter [Dan Davies](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dansiop/) * (@dansiop) * [15 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/everythings-gone-wrong/#post-1553266) * Cheers, * All sorted now. Thanks for all of your help. I’ve moved it successfully too. * Cheers * [farah-karimi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/farah-karimi/) * (@farah-karimi) * [15 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/everythings-gone-wrong/#post-1553399) * I’m relatively new to this.
