 * Hello!
 * I read a few couple of threads here and there about this but never came across
   the exact same issue I am having right now.
 * My blog is on [http://www.domain.de](http://www.domain.de), the old files were
   put directly in the root folder so it was [http://www.domain.de/index.php](http://www.domain.de/index.php)
   and stuff.
 * Now I wanted to move everything from
    [http://www.domain.com](http://www.domain.com)
   to [http://www.domain.com/blog](http://www.domain.com/blog)
 * So I first entered the options, changed the
    WordPress address (URI) and Blog
   address (URI) both from http:://www.domain.com to [http://www.domain.com/blog](http://www.domain.com/blog).
   After that I moved all the files from the root directory to the root/blog folder
   and tested the blog. All I get is a white screen and nothing else.
 * I’ve done a SQL search to find all results with domain.com so I could change 
   those to domain.com/blog but the only existing result other than WordPress address(
   URI) and Blog address (URI) was in wp_users the admin user – I changed that address,
   too – but still only a white screen.
 * What am I doing wrong here exactly? :/
 * Kind regards,
    COMA

 * Sounds to me like you’re database info is incorrect. Check the wp-config file.

 * Checked the database,
 * In wp_options we got:
    siteurl -> [http://www.domain.com/blog](http://www.domain.com/blog)
   home -> [http://www.domain.com/blog](http://www.domain.com/blog)
 * Changing both of them to [http://www.domain.com](http://www.domain.com) and moving
   all the files back works fine, changing both of them to [http://www.domain.com/blog/](http://www.domain.com/blog/)(
   the extra / at the end) doesnt change a thing, too. (just if that would have 
   been important …)
 * The wp-config.php is fine, too – the access to the database works I guess otherwise
   it wouldn’t work when I move them back, right?
 * Any other ideas maybe? I really have no clue what’s wrong here since it worked
   in the past more than once. :/
