All of my wordpress files are in “wordpress” directory but when someone accesses “www.studioeddies.com”, I want my wordpress page will show. This will be achieved with following a guide here.
Not too complicated but things are harder than it looks sometimes.
Reason 1. – Copy or Move
I think I did what the instruction said properly (Oh, I read the Japanese version) but it didn’t work. I also checked other website and confused . Do I have to “COPY” the index.php and .htaccess files or “Move” them to the root directory?
Now my wordpress is running as I desired and I’ve MOVED those files, not copied. I wonder what will happen if I leave those files in “wordpress” directory??
Reason 2. – .htaccess file
I don’t have much knowledge about .htaccess. When I move the .htaccess to root directory, PHP seemed to be reset (PHP5 was running but became PHP4). I could sort it out later. Relief…
Reason 3. – subdomain & redirection
Somehow I managed to access wordpress admin control panel but accessing the URL www.sudioeddies.com caused “Redirect loop error”. It took for hours to figure out the reason and finally I found that it’s because a subdomain and redirection setting on my server (www.webmasters.com).
I made the subdomain long time ago but I don’t use it actually. I can not remember whether I modified the redirection setting but turning off both of the setting made everything fine!
I know it depends on the server but if you get “Redirect loop Error” from your browser, it may worth checking your server’s subdomain and redirection setting.
