 * When first installing wordpress I wanted to have the wordpress files uploaded
   to a subdirectory of my database, so I did. Later on, when figuring out how to
   create the rest of the static site proved to be impossible to understand, I deleted
   all files from the database in order to start over. Next I uploaded the wordpress
   files to the root directory of my database and tried to continue the installation,
   as I did before. However, this time, when logging in via [http://www.domainname.com/wp-login.php](http://www.domainname.com/wp-login.php),
   I automatically get redirected to [http://www.domainname.com/subdirectory/wp-login.php](http://www.domainname.com/subdirectory/wp-login.php).
 * What is the problem?

 * In settings general you need to change urls to your domain name if you have wordpress
   files and folders in root.

 * Thats only possible when you can log in of course. The answer came from some 
   google-search site (or post?) about phpMyAdmin and changing the options of my
   database. Thanks anyway.
