The blog url needs to change. Correct? * Moderator [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/url-settings-question/#post-939906) * What, exactly, is the PROBLEM you’re having? Not ‘I want to change the domain name’, but the actual errors you’re getting. * Both URLs need to change since your block has ‘moved’ to a new location (yes, I know it stayed put psychically, but it doesn’t know that). * If the move has already happened and you can’t get into your blog to fix the URLs, check this: [Changing The Site URL](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL) * Thread Starter [krystyl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/krystyl/) * (@krystyl) * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/url-settings-question/#post-939924) * It is telling me there is a fatal error in the wp_header.php and on index.php line 17 * Moderator [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/url-settings-question/#post-939933) * It would help if you copied the exact error here 🙂 Each error comes with a little more information than just the fact that it’s fatal. There’s **Call to undefined function** and **Cannot redeclare** and … you get the idea 🙂 * As I said, what, EXACTLY, is the problem. The actual, verbatim, errors. Ugly code and all. And use the backticks (see the note below the message text box) to wrap the code so we can be sure to see it. * Thread Starter [krystyl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/krystyl/) * (@krystyl) * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/url-settings-question/#post-939941) * Warning: main(./wp-blog-header.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /nfs/www/WWW_pages/lic/licshop/index.php on line 17 * Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘./wp-blog-header. php’ (include_path=’.:/opt/php/lib/php/’) in /nfs/www/WWW_pages/lic/licshop/index. php on line 17 * Moderator [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/url-settings-question/#post-939967) * [See this post](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/212653?replies=4) * You may be missing files OR the permissions are messed up from the move. * Thread Starter [krystyl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/krystyl/) * (@krystyl) * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/url-settings-question/#post-939969) * The files are definetely there. I feel retarded with this whole thing…its probably a simple fix that I have overlooked….. 🙁 * [figaro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/figaro/) * (@figaro) * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/url-settings-question/#post-939971) * [@krystyl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/krystyl/) * If you have an account with Cpanel and would like for me to take a look, post contact info. I know you said you were willing to pay, but I’ll look at it for free…if you just moved a working WP from its directory to root, it should be a simple thing. * Thread Starter [krystyl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/krystyl/) * (@krystyl) * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/url-settings-question/#post-939973) * Unfortunately I don’t have an account with Cpanel but im willing to look into it. my contact information is [info@krystyl.net](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/url-settings-question/info@krystyl.net?output_format=md) if you want to contact me directly. Alot easier than the forums here. * [figaro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/figaro/) * (@figaro) * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/url-settings-question/#post-939976) * Based on your email, if this is your site and it’s the one you are posting about, then it looks like you have a blog in the root. It seems to have a couple of problems, but it’s there. You’re not trying to put a second one there are you? * [http://www.krystyl.net/](http://www.krystyl.net/) * Thread Starter [krystyl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/krystyl/) * (@krystyl) * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/url-settings-question/#post-939980) * No. The site I am working on is different from my own and is not hosted on the same host/server * Moderator [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/url-settings-question/#post-940009) * Did you check the file permissions? * Thread Starter [krystyl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/krystyl/) * (@krystyl) * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/url-settings-question/#post-940023) * Yes.
