“wordpress is installed inside the public_html folder”
To make it clear: your public_html folder contains the folders called wp-admin, wp-content and wp-includes?
You have a place holder that could be index.html or default.html that are put there when a host account is created stays there until you delete the file.
If you can access wordpress http://xyz.com/wordpress then you have wordpress in a directory if you want to use from Directory then follow this instructions

Seen a couple of similar postings so deleted the index.html and default.html. THink i messed up pulling the index.php from another folder. The wpdbase folder from root sites gives me the dashboard – but cant get the site to pull up via root url. Know of a way to get the index/start page reset so to speak? If you go to the root url you see errors.
You need log in wordpess admin change site url to your domain name.
then
copy index.php file that is in wordpress folder along with other wp- files in root and change line 17 add folder.
I pasted url with instruction above.
WordPress url was changed to domain. Copied all the files in wordpress folder to root. The index.php doesnt seem to be working and returning errors on screen. What is line 17? dont see a folder reference on that line in the index.php if that is what you mean. go to socceraustin.com will see the error. wondering if my index file is messed up. if i go to http://www.socceraustin.com/wpdbase it shows the site. socceraustin.com/wp-admin goes to the admin log on you would expect.
WordPress url was changed to domain. Copied all the files in wordpress folder to root.
looks like you have wordpress in a folder wpdbase so you have not copied them over in root.
So what I need to know is what exactly you want to do you want to use wordpress from this folder and have your wordpress open with this http://www.socceraustin.com
If this what you want then you need to copy index.php file that is along with all wp- files to root that is in public_html
Open index.php you just copied in editor and in line 17 add wpdbase so you have
require(‘./wpdbase/wp-blog-header.php’);
log in admin
http://socceraustin.com/wpdbase/wp-admin
change site url in Settings general to http://socceraustin.com
and reset your permalinks by clicking on Settings General
