 * Hi,
 * I made a uge mistake: I cancelled my wordpress URL from setting. Now I can’t 
   access to my website and it gives to me:
 * Not Found
 * The requested URL /wp-login.php was not found on this server.
 * What should I do? There’s any easy why? I’m not practice in that!
 * Thank you so much!

 * – Access phpMyAdmin on your host, then check the wp_options Table (Note: The 
   table prefix of wp_ may be different if you changed it when installing), and 
   make sure **siteurl** field and **home** field are correct. See [https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL#Changing_the_URL_directly_in_the_database](https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL#Changing_the_URL_directly_in_the_database)

 * If you have access to wp-config.php, then add these two lines to your wp-config.
   php:
 *     ```
       define('WP_HOME','http://www.tradercom.it/PROVA');
       define('WP_SITEURL','http://www.tradercom.it/PROVA');
       ```
   
 * It is important that you make a copy of wp-config.php before making any changes.
 * You have to add those lines towards the end, just before the comment which says:
   `"
   <strong>/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */</strong>"`
 * You would now be able to login to your site. Once you have logged in, go to the
   _Settings_ page and set the url again.
    Now you can safely remove the lines you
   had earlier to the wp-config.php
 * After removing the lines, check that you are able to login again.

 * Hi,
 * Thank you everybody!

   The table prefix is definitely not wp but wor2787 (no idea what it means) the
   site URL and home URL file I think are right:
 * Site URL is: [http://tradercom.it/tradercom.it/PROVA](http://tradercom.it/tradercom.it/PROVA)
   
   Home URL: [http://tradercom.it/tradercom.it/PROVA](http://tradercom.it/tradercom.it/PROVA)
 * Is that right?
 * [@shariqkhan2012](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shariqkhan2012/)
    in my
   phpmyadmin I can’t find the wp-config.php but I have it in my filezilla… Should
   I change it from filezilla?
 * Thank you again <3

 * What was your website url?
    1. **[http://tradercom.it/tradercom.it/PROVA](http://tradercom.it/tradercom.it/PROVA)**
   OR 2. **[http://tradercom.it/PROVA](http://tradercom.it/PROVA)**
 * My understanding was that the website address was **[http://tradercom.it/PROVA](http://tradercom.it/PROVA)**
   
   That’s why in my original message I had asked to add this in wp-config.php :
 *     ```
       define('WP_HOME','http://www.tradercom.it/PROVA');
       define('WP_SITEURL','http://www.tradercom.it/PROVA');
       ```
   
 * However now I see that your website url was **[http://tradercom.it/tradercom.it/PROVA](http://tradercom.it/tradercom.it/PROVA)**,
   so now change the entry in wp-config.php to:
 *     ```
       define('WP_HOME','http://tradercom.it/tradercom.it/PROVA');
       define('WP_SITEURL','http://tradercom.it/tradercom.it/PROVA');
       ```

 * Hi!
 * yes sorry the web site url is: ‘[http://tradercom.it/tradercom.it/PROVA](http://tradercom.it/tradercom.it/PROVA)
   but I have already try to entry in wp-config.php thi URL. For this reason the
   new message came out.

 * Seems the problem is in wp-includes/random_compact/random.php
 * Is it possible that this file is damage? Sorry probably this question sounds 
   stupid but I’m not understanding what is going on.
 * Thank you again!

 * Well the error says:
    _‘/home/traderco/www/tradercom.it/PROVA/wp-includes/random\
   _compat/random.php’ _ does not exist.
 * Yet, you say that random.php does exist inside random_compat directory.
 * Can you double check that?
 * If you still thik that it does exist, then try renaming random.php to something
   else like random.php_original.
    And then reload the page. Now see if the error
   is still the same or does it change
