   can i change the directory name and alter some config file to get wp working 
   again?
 * Basically can I rename the dir and get wp working again without a reinstall.

 * Yes, you will have to change two values in your database. See: [http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/site-url/](http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/site-url/)

 * Yes.
 * Login, click Options.
    See the two URL’s ? Change BOTH to what you want then 
   move the files on the server to where you want then log back in 🙂

 * Oops, I always like to do things that hard way. Heh … Follow Podz’ instructions
   if you have not changed the directory name yet. If you have already changed the
   directory name, then follow the link that I provided above.
