    Hah! Just figured it out. In step 6 of Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory under “Using a pre-existing subdirectory install”, rather than using
    require(‘./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’);
    I had to use
    require(‘wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’);

    Apparently the “./” doesn’t refer to my web root directory. I suspect this has something to do with the configuration of my root web on the server.

    Brad, I’ve checked the IIS log and there is no subcode, just 500. I don’t have access to the server’s event log.

    As soon as I hit Save Changes in Settings / General after changing the Site URL, the web stops working and returns 500. But as I said before, if I redirect the Site URL to a subdirectory of the WP directory, it works fine.

    I’m pretty sure the problem is related to the way my root web site is operating. As you know, everything in WP goes through index.php, but that page is not called explicitly; it is called as the default page at the site. I believe my root website is somehow not executing that default page, even though I’ve set up the server to execute it first. So this may have to do with page caching or some server setting that I’m not aware of.

    Brad, thanks for the prompt response. Unfortunately, this is not my server and the server administrator is not being very cooperative. As I mentioned, the root web is a current non-WP production web, and I’m in the process of converting it to this new WP web, which is currently installed in my wpdev subdirectory. This is the final step to turning it on at the root.

    As a test, I created a /wpdev/test subdirectory, changed my site URL to /wpdev/test, and placed index.php there, with

    require(‘./../wp-blog-header.php’);

    That works! So this has something to do with the way my web root is operating. Any bright ideas?

    Specifically to the Suffusion theme, how do I remove the “Suffusion theme by Sayontan Sinh” credit? I’m using Suffusion theme version 3.9.2.
