ok I’m getting there

Edit wp-config.php
It is possible to set the site URL manually in the wp-config.php file.

Add these two lines to your wp-config.php, where “example.com” is the correct location of your site.

define(‘WP_HOME’,’https://example.com’);
define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’https://example.com’);
I did this edit in both locations public_html and in www01 subdomain
using URL for the first pair and URL/www01 for the second pair
and got the sites back

thanks Keith
I presume you mean the wordpress installation in www02
The top setting wordpress URL was already there
I removed the /www02 on the lower setting site address
Seems to make no difference – I can access the site at URL/ww02
but no other variants

https://www.URL
URL
https://www.URL/www02

Latest version of WP 3.8.1 I think
