 * Hi again! 🙂
 * I’m trying to move WP from a mydomain1.com/folderA/ to mydomain2.com/
 * Installer.php has been upload to mydomain2.com/folderB/
    Step 1 Deploy is ok.
   Step 2 Update : I give those information:
 * New Settings
    URL : mydomain2.com/folderB/ Path : “the root html directory”/folderB/
   Title : unchanged
 * Advanced Options…
    Site URL : mydomain2.com/
 * Then install is complete.
    But when I try to reach mydomain2.com/folderB/wp-admin/
   options-permalink.php
 * it give me a 404 (adress point to [http://www.mydomain2.com.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mydomain2.com%2FfolderB%2Fwp-admin%2Foptions-permalink.php&reauth=1](http://www.mydomain2.com.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mydomain2.com%2FfolderB%2Fwp-admin%2Foptions-permalink.php&reauth=1))
 * Any idea?
    Also, is there a way to move the entire install to the root folder?
 * Thanks for your help!

 * I’ve solved this finally.
    I’ve simply installed in a folder and done this : 
   [http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory](http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory)
 * Works like a charm.
