# “No input file specified” Error

 * It seems I have really messed something up. I have been building a site hosted
   on Dreamhost that I wanted to use to communicate with constituents in my ward.(
   I’m their rep on city council here in Ithaca. I had a beta site built using wordpress.
   And all seemed to go well until I tried to switch the url that the blog posted
   to from it’s ‘test’ url:
 * [http://www.firstwardreport.org/blog/](http://www.firstwardreport.org/blog/)
 * To just the main url without the /blog/ at the end. Somehow, in doing that, I
   seemed to have made a mistake that is leaving me at a loss for how to fix it.
   When I visit the above url I only see the posts in a very rudimentary style, 
   no longer in my template. Then, when I try to login as an admin to either post
   another post or try to fix the problems that I’m seeing I get an error message,“
   No input file specified”.
 * Is there an easy fix to this problem, so that I don’t lose my database of posts
   and the initial work that I’ve done identifying tags, etc.
 * Any information or tips will be very helpful, thanks!
 * Shane

 * I started getting this error when I added a value to doc_root in my php.ini file.
   As soon as I removed this value, everything worked again. You might check that
   to see if it could be your problem.
