I also moved my blog using the same directions but right now accessing /blog gives a 404 not found error. Can I ask what you ended up doing that made the redirection work?
Thanks.
I have the same problem with my site right now. I installed WordPress into a subdirectory /blog originally, then later decided to move it to root with the same instructions. My problem is when I type http://example.com/blog, I get a 404 not found page. I would like to redirect it to the root page, where the blog’s contents is shown.
mik.e245, how did you change your .htaccess files that made the redirection work?
Or does anyone else have a concrete solution?
