 * I followed that tutorial to the letter.
 * Changed the wordpress directory to /wordpress,
    copied the index.php file to 
   the root, changed the code to point to the new blog-header
 * And it still doesn’t work. I’m still getting this weird error message when I 
   try to view my site ([http://downinautumn.com](http://downinautumn.com))
 * “Warning: require(./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php) [function.require]: failed 
   to open stream: No such file or directory in \\boswinfs03\home\users\web\b234\
   whl.thomcas\index.php on line 17
 * Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘./wordpress/
   wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path=’.;c:\php\5\pear’) in \\boswinfs03\home\users\
   web\b234\whl.thomcas\index.php on line 17″
 * If anyone could help me understand this and sort it out I’d be extremely grateful,
   I’ve absolutely no idea what to do!
 * Cheers.

 * Thanks for the quick reply,
 * Yeah that’s the tutorial I tried to follow, the difference being I’m not trying
   to change the location of the the WordPress directory. In that particular tutorial
   they’re moving all the wordpress files to a new location ‘/wordpress/’, all my
   wordpress files are already where I want them; /wp/.
    Shouldn’t it be a simple
   case of just moving the index.php file and editing the code to direct it to the
   wp-blog-header file?
 * Will it only work if I change the location of the entire WordPress folder on 
   my server??
