The problem is resolved – here are the steps I went through:
1)Logged into my register.com control panal and removed wordpress
2)Logged into my domain using ftp and deleted wordpress1 directory, index.php and .htaccess file
3)Logged into my register.com control panal and installed wordpress 3.5.1 in wpress directory
4) Logged into WP and updated to 3.7.1
5) Tested : defaults to example.com/wpress/
6) Logged into WP and changed site address (URL) from http://example.com/wpress to http://example.com
7) Logged into my domain using FTP and – copied index.php4 and .htaccess from wpress to root directory.
8) Tested : Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required ’/data/21/3/60/16/3223505/user/3598901/htdocs/wp-blog-header.php’(include_path=’.:/usr/share/php:/usr/services/vux/lib/php’) in /data/21/3/60/16/3223505/user/3598901/htdocs/index.php on line
9) Logged into WP, went to setting > permalinks and presses save changes
10) Tested : Fatal error:
11) Edited index.php in root and replaced
require( dirname( FILE ) . ’/wp-blog-header.php’ ); with
require(’./wpress/wp-blog-header.php’);
12) Tested – Worked
