Thanks

Thanks Esmi, I shall try this and let you know how I got on
Hi Esmi,
I need to get back to you about this – before I managed to get round to do the manip to give WordPress its own directory, some IT guy from my client’s company has done the following:
“I’ve managed to work out how to setup virtual hosts on Apache so that ‘localhost’ can be used on the server itself to get to the Wamp administrative pages using ‘c:\wamp\www’ as the root document directory but for ‘www.pensionspocketbook.com’ to use ‘c:\wamp\www\wordpress’ as root the document directory.”
Now, my WordPress settings still read –
>>> WordPress address (URL) : http://localhost/wordpress
>>> Site address (URL) : http://localhost/wordpress
I can see fine the holding page I put up at http://www.pensionspocketbook.com but when I try to see another page, e.g http://www.pensionspocketbook.com/about, I get the 404 error
I believe I need to change the WordPress settings and carry out the steps from point 7 (http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory)
Thank you for your help
You just need to change your wordpress settings to remove the wordpress
This should then resolve the problem for you
Thank you thestyledragon.
I have very nervous to carry out that change since I messed up it once on another project… so I just need to replace
WordPress address (URL) : http://localhost/wordpress
Site address (URL) : http://localhost/wordpress
with
WordPress address (URL) : http://localhost
Site address (URL) : http://localhost
??
I tried to view the ‘about’ page without making the above changes and by using http://www.pensionspocketboox.com/about but got the 404 error page. I take it is normal as I have not changed the settings or is it not?
Thanks!

Hi,
Can anyone shed some light on this issue? See above
Quick sum up of it otherwise below –
before I managed to get round to do the manip to give WordPress its own directory, some IT guy from my client’s company has done the following:
“I’ve managed to work out how to setup virtual hosts on Apache so that ‘localhost’ can be used on the server itself to get to the Wamp administrative pages using ‘c:\wamp\www’ as the root document directory but for ‘www.pensionspocketbook.com’ to use ‘c:\wamp\www\wordpress’ as root the document directory.”
Now, my WordPress settings still read –
>>> WordPress address (URL) : http://localhost/wordpress
>>> Site address (URL) : http://localhost/wordpress
I get the 404 error when I try to see any page, do I therefore need to remove the /wordpress/ from the site address or also from the wordpress address. Is there anything else I should be aware/do?
Thanks!
