    I am running into deep trouble of configuring WP.
    We have WP on a site as a blog. In site there is a setting section as “WordPress blog URL”, it used to be “http://xyz.com”. and I changed it to http://xyz.com/about. Now everything stops working. I want to go back to http//xyz.com/wp-admin to change it back, but it says URL not found. Please help!

    Hi govpatel, Thanks for you reply.
    The problem is that I can’t even access to the General->settings now because I changed the value of “WordPress address (URL)”.
    When I tried http://xyz.com/wp-admin to change it back, it always forwards me to http://xyz.com/about/wp-admin, but http://xyz.com/about/wp-admin doesn’t exist.

    You will have to access the database to change the value of the siteurl.

    Using phpMyAdmin or similar tool, you’ll need to go to the wp_options table, search for “siteurl” in the “meta_key” field. Remove the “about” from the “meta_value” in that record.

    Your webhost tech support may be able to help if you are uncomfortable doing this yourself. Alternately, you may be able to get someone to write a quick snippet of code using wpquestions.com or jobs.wordpress.net to set the value correctly.

    I solved the problem now. Thanks for the your instructions.
    I actually logged into wp’s mysql database and change the value back to the old URL. It’s the second row of wp_options with the value “siteurl” of “option_name”
