    When I enter in my browser, mysitename.com/wp-admin, it redirects to wp-login.php and I get a “404 Not Found.” Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? Is it my permissions or my database not working?

    I can post a copy of my httpd.conf if that will help?

    When you moved WordPress, did you follow the instructions in either Moving_WordPress or Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory? If not, you need to put everything back to the way it was before the move and then follow the instructions in one of those Codex pages.

    I guess so. The reason I said that is that when I installed WP via a plugin that my host has. bassically it’s a command line tool to install the common website stuff like WP, Wikis, database servers Postgres and MySQL.

    It installed into my /var/www/html/wordpress-2.7/. Also, it put a symlink to wordpress-2.7 with wordpress. So what I did, thinking I was clever, was put a symlink in /var/www/wordpress that pointed to the symlink in /var/www/html/wordpress (which then pointed to the /var/www/html/wordpress-2.7 directory). Then, after realizing that something was wrong with my WP install, since I couldn’t get to /wp-admin/, I moved the WP to /var/www/wordpress and destroyed the symlinks so now I have apache with DocumentRoot set to /var/www/wordpress.

    So basically that’s how I have it now.

    Do you want to check my apache config to see it that is screwed up?

    Hey I think I installed it wrong. I uninstalled WP and reinstalled it. Now I’m on a configuration screen where it says that my database name and password are ok but it cannot select the database table.
