# Loads from wrong directory

 * I recently made extensive changes to a site. In order not to disturb the existing
   site, I did all my work in a subdirectory. When everything was debugged I (1)
   copied all modules to the main directory and (2) used phpmyadmin to edit site
   url and home to point to the main directory.
 * Everything seemed to work fine. I made a change to headr.php. This change took
   effect on my landing page but not on the subpages. On the subpages it appeared
   to fetch header.php from the subdirectory.
 * I verified this by renaming the subdirectory. This causes an internal configuration
   error.
 * I copied the new version of header.php to the subdirectory and now everything
   works again.
 * But I don’t understand why the server sometimes fetches from the subdirectory
   and not the main directory. I suspect there must be something else in the database
   I must change in addition to site url and home. But I don’t know what.
 * Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
 * Thanks,
    Bob

 * Never mind. I disabled my caching plugin and the problem went away. I reenabled
   it and everything still works.
