 * I ran it and it said Blog and WordPress address have been reset but it isn’t 
   changed.
    This is what it says SQL/DB Error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax
   near ‘SET option_value = ‘[http://www.mysite.com/wpblog&#8217](http://www.mysite.com/wpblog&#8217);
   WHERE option_name’ at line 1] UPDATE SET option_value = ‘[http://www.mysite.com/wpblog&#8217](http://www.mysite.com/wpblog&#8217);
   WHERE option_name = ‘siteurl’ OR option_name = ‘home’ Blog and WordPress address
   have been reset to [http://www.mysite.com/wpblog.](http://www.mysite.com/wpblog.)——–
   I tried with and without the trailing ‘/’ , mysite.com is of course changed to
   my actual site url. lol What is the SQL/DB Error? Is that the problem?

 * Matt, how do I use it?
    <?php // Fill in your WordPress URI below $uri = ‘[http://www.example.com/wordpress/&#8217](http://www.example.com/wordpress/&#8217);;
   require(‘wp-config.php’); $wpdb->query(“UPDATE $wpdb->options SET option_value
   = ‘$uri’ WHERE option_name = ‘siteurl’ OR option_name = ‘home'”); echo “Blog 
   and WordPress address have been reset to `$uri`.”; ?>

 * I had someone try the links on their new computer and got the same Index of files.
   
   Could it be that the files are in the wrong place? Everything else works as it
   suppose to but [http://www.mysite.com/wordpress](http://www.mysite.com/wordpress)
   goes to the Index of files.

 * So when I login with name: admin and password it opens to [http://mysite.com/wordpress/wp-admin/](http://mysite.com/wordpress/wp-admin/)
   and shows my files. (Index of /wordpress/wp-admin) and [http://mysite.com/wordpress/](http://mysite.com/wordpress/)
   also goes to: Index of /wordpress
    Any solutions? I also don’t like the files
   showing as well as the login doesn’t go the right page. Is there a redirect to
   fix it? Id so how is it done? Or permissions to hide the files?

 * The host answered and said they,”have tested PHP by creating a test PHP document
   found here: [http://mysite.com/test.php](http://mysite.com/test.php) and it is
   working without issue.”
    Is the [http://mysite.com/wordpress/wp-admin/](http://mysite.com/wordpress/wp-admin/)
   suppose to pick up the index.php ? How to correct that?
