So if I wanted to execute a script in that folder, what would be the path, when I add custom html to a page?

“../cgi-bin/myscript.pl” doesn’t work.

I’m having an issue with restore from url on my site that’s not yet live. After trying the RESTORE FROM URL I got this new message:

“The plugin encountered an error while extracting the zip file using the PclZip library,the following error message was returned:
Error Message : PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature

Temporary files created in **SITE-ROOT**/wp-content/wpclone-temp will be deleted.”

Thank you.

Also, when WP Clone is activated it makes other plugins not work right.

When do you expect to have this working?

Thanks,

I have dome this exercise previously for other sites and followed the Codex – Giving WordPress Its Own Directory but it does not seem to have worked.

I have been going backwards and forwards with the index.php and .htaccess files now for about 24 hours so and seem to have tried about every combination + got myself completely confused as to what the original state would be.

Can anyone assist in getting my set up right and/or should I just reinstall WordPress and start again?

Thanks

I have my website and WordPress installed on a Linode server running Ubuntu.
The directories are:
~/public_html – Website
~/public_blog – WordPress installation

My DNS and site config is set up so that:
hashbang0.com – Points to website in ~/public_html
blog.hashbang0.com – Points to WordPress install in ~/public_blog

Site config as follows:

<VirtualHost 123.456.789.000:80>
     ServerAdmin [email protected]
     ServerName hashbang0.com
     ServerAlias www.hashbang0.com
     DocumentRoot /home/user/public_html/
     ErrorLog /home/user/log/error.log
     CustomLog /home/user/log/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 123.456.789.000:80>
     ServerAdmin [email protected]
     ServerName blog.user.com
     ServerAlias blog.user.com
     DocumentRoot /home/user/public_blog/
     ErrorLog /home/hashbang0/log/blog_error.log
     CustomLog /home/hashbang0/log/blog_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Now, I have had enough of tinkering with PHP, HTML, etc. I want to move my WordPress installation so that visitors to hashbang0.com see the WordPress site. At the same time, anyone with links to the old blog.hashbang0.com (most notably RSS links and a few links on StackOverflow, etc.) shouldn’t be cut off.
I’m guessing I could adjust the first part of my site config to:

<VirtualHost 123.456.789.000:80>
     ServerAdmin [email protected]
     ServerName hashbang0.com
     ServerAlias www.hashbang0.com
     DocumentRoot /home/user/public_blog/
     ErrorLog /home/user/log/error.log
     CustomLog /home/user/log/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

And everything will be well?
Should I look at changing directories or putting some redirect in place for the future? Or would running a small, personal, site like this be OK?

Ben

I have installed a blog for a friend in the subdirectory /wordpress

https://cindyehrlichmann.de/wordpress

but want it to powered by the site root

https://www.cindyehrlichmann.de/

While doing the required changes, I must have done something wrong, because now, the site isnt available under the main domain. Instead you can find the main page still under the /worpress URL, but also no further content, and the layout changed as well (font size of navigation for instance)!? what’s happening?
please help! I’m not a pro and appreciate any assistance!

thanks a million in advance!

In more detail, here is what I did:
according to these instructions:
– I changed the site address to the root directory’s URL (www.cindyehrlichmann.de) in the WP-Panel
– using my ftp-client, I copied the index.php file and changed the “require”-line as required

I didnt do anything with a .htaccess file though. As far as I know, I dont use permalinks and therefore the file is not existing. only have a htaccess-Datei.txt in my root directory (?)

I hope that helps.

I got to a point where I was pretty happy with the WordPress site and decided to move it to the site root.

I was following these ‘Moving WordPress’ instructions and perhaps pressed ‘Save’ too early on the General Settings page of the WordPress admin section — my site root came up with a bunch of PHP errors.

Because all the WordPress files were still in the ‘/new/’ folder I decided to move them to the site root, thinking that’d solve things. The first thing to move was the .htaccess file which I’d forgotten about — I remember looking at it a couple of days back and it having some info about the ‘/new/’ folder. As soon as that went to the site root, I couldn’t move, edit, upload or delete anything else in the site root! I’ve never had this before… What can I do?

Now what do I do to make www.williamandsun.com be the root of the blog? In otherwords, they come to the site and they’re in the blog.

Thanks in advance.

So I’ve installed WP at my site, and I’d like to do something similar to what can be found at komodomedia.com:

– Use a WP static page at my site root
– Have other pages below the root, such as /about etc.
– Have my blog at /blog

First of all, is this possible? Second of all, I may have misunderstand just how WP is being utilised at the above website, but what I’ve described is what I’d like to do, if possible.

(Originally I tried having WP at my site root, but I would like to have a more interesting page there; then I tried moving my blog to /blog and just redirecting from the root in the meantime; then I realised that I could only have static pages below /blog, which didn’t make a lot of sense.)

Hope you can help.
