    Hiya –

    Now that I’ve upgraded to 1.5 I can’t recall how I originally moved index.php to the root of my webserver docs directory. What paths do I need to change in which files in order to locate index.php there instead of in /wordpress?

    TIA –

    Matt

    Primarily you’d need to set the Blog address field in Options > General to point to the correct url.

    Also, the path to wp-blog-header.php in index.php would need to be corrected:

    <?php
    require('./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php');
    ?>

    That is, if it’s there…

    Interesting. The location was still set properly and I updated the require line as mentioned above but can’t get pages to load now. No syntax errors either. Odd.

    Never mind. Problem solved. Some reason, doesn’t like entire URI spelled out in blogheader line. When I updated it to just a locally-referenced URI, it worked fine.

    Reference to future investigators:

    <?php
    require('https://my.site/wp-blog-header.php');
    ?>

    does not work because PHP requires a directory path to a file (and not the URL). So:

    <?php
    require('/path/to/my/www/wp-blog-header.php');
    ?>

    is what you want for full (absolute) paths.
