    I am struggling a bit on moving my wp site to a different URL. I’ve followed the Codex instructions and I can open my admin under the new url but when I go to view the site I get the dreaded 500 error, I had to put back up the old site for now. On top of that when I go to do a quick view on the pages I get a 404 error. The WP files are in a subfolder sitename/TeST is this where I’m going wrong…. please help. SOS…

    ok I solved my problem.. if anyone is looking at this one I needed to change one line on the index.php and move that file to my main site folder.
    Change the following and save the file. Change the line that says:
    require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . ‘/wp-blog-header.php’ );
    to the following, using your directory name for the WordPress core files:
    require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . ‘/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’ );
