Hello, this is my first time posting.

I was trying to figure out why my front page wasn’t loading, but all the other pages were.

I got to the configuration menu in Graphene and pointed a different directory for wordpress to see if this was the cause.

Since then I have lost access to my entire site as well as my admin login.

I am not sure exactly which file holds this directory data. At least then I can change it back so i can at least login.

Currently getting this error message

500 Server Error

A misconfiguration on the server caused a hiccup. Check the server logs, fix the problem, then try again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. and many thanks

There is no option in the graphene options to point WordPress to another url.

Maybe you are referring to WordPress’

Quote:

Settings -> General Settings -> WordPress Address (URL), Site Address (URL).

If that’s the case you can fix it by editing the WordPress database.

Thanks my mistake about the pointer. I tried the database suggestion a while ago. With no effect.

Will double check it again. Thanks

Yes thats where i found them before. Just double checked and they are updated correctly.

Changed them from

http://www.mk9.org

to

http://www.mk9.org/mk/

it’s still showing 500 server error.

http://www.mk9.org/mk/

is the original? the one you used upon installing wordpress?

Yes that is the original instal directory. Was working 8 days ago. Then last night after uploading an image, i went to check the placement and the front page was gone. Every other page was fine. Then i pointed to the wrong directory and haven’t been able to get back in since.

That’s weird, it should work if you used the exact url again.

did you input the complete address with the http?

maybe this

http://www.mk9.org/mk

or

http://mk9.org/mk

also check the server logs.

so it seems i can get into the page but not the admin now

http://mk9.org/mk/past-shows/

if i try and go to the front page that’s where the directing error comes in.

Pretty much back at the same place i was last night, but one problem down one to go 🙂
