Oops! I lost my blog!

    Sooo, sometimes I try to figure out how to fix my problems, and my intuition makes a moron of me.

    I need to remove my www.ads-software.com powered blog from its address at https://zoostation.somjuan.com . Instead of properly managing my domain settings, I went in the general settings and made up a new URL: https://zoothousand.one.com . Now I can’t access my dashboard or my administrative controls or anything because it tries to access a URL that doesn’t exist.

    Is there any way I can fish it back out of the internet vortex?

  • Add the correct site url to your wp-config file like this (replacing url to your url)

    define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘https://YOURSITE.com/wordpress’);

    which in your case looks to be

    define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘https://zoostation.somjuan.com/’);

    In my case, when I tried to change the WordPress URL into
    https://www.mysite.com/ from https://www.mysite.com/wordpress
    but keep the blog URL at
    https://www.mysite.com/wordpress
    then I started to get 404 Not Found error.

    I have deleted all the files, then reupload, but still getting the same 404 error.

    By chance I added the slash to the end of wordpress/ and got into mysite, but when I changed back the setting of wordpress URL to make both of them using the wordpress folder, I got the same error again.

    My plan is to delete all the files (since this is a new site I set up for a friend), then reinstall from scratch. But I just wonder, is there away to replace one file only and not the whole wordpress 2.6?

    Thanks.

    When I tried the url https://www.mysite.com/ I then get this error message:

    Warning: Unexpected character in input: ‘\’ (ASCII=92) state=1 in /homepages/11/d247793599/htdocs/…./wordpress/wp-config.php on line 2

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /homepages/11/d247793599/htdocs/…./wordpress/wp-config.php on line 2

    Any suggestion on how to correct that?

    I check my wp-config.php and no ‘\’ there.

    Sorry for riding on this topic.

    Finally, after re-uploading the wordpress, creating new SQL database, I still got the same error, so I called the tech support of the hosting service, and they edited the wp-config.php for me. Now it works.
