I went into my webhost’s control panel to try and update any config options referencing the base URL for the WordPress site by double-clicking on the wp-config.php file to open it. However, after opening the file and reading all the information, I did not see where this file referenced the base URL for the WordPress site so that I could change it to my new URL. Can someone provide step-by-step instructions to do this. Am I doing it right by double-clicking on the file above to open and edit it? I would also appreciate instructions on changing the document root for my site to the file name indicated by my webhost. Where is the document root located? This is my first website I have designed using Word Press. My previous site was designed using FrontPage. Thanks again for your help.

OK. I will try and edit it through the control panel. Thank you for so much for your help.

I am new to Word Press. Like other posters here, I have encountered problems with accessing my administrator page after trying to update automatically from 3.0.4 to version 3.1.1. I re-downloaded WP 3.1.1. into a new folder on my C drive. Following the directions in the Read Me file, I opened my wp-config-sample.php file and entered my database information and saved the file as wp-config.php. Now I am stumped as to how to upload this config file onto my ftp site. I am familiar with uploading onto ftp sites, but when I go into my ftp account via Mozilla, I am unsure as to which folder in the index directory I should upload the config file. I would appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks.
