Why are you using WP 3.6?
Hi, This is the highest version available on the hosting platform. I have no control over server administration.
I am not what is the best way to change the siteurl, except directly through the database
I have no problem doing that, except I would first like to make sure what the correct solution is. I mean, messing with the DB for fun, then trying to recover the initial settings because the “random punches” failed will be a waste.
This is not a running site. Fresh install and born broken, because of my wrong settings I assume.
P.S. From what I have read so far, wp-contents/blog* is no longer the default folder location for WP 3.5+
