    After setting up the site and making entries I decided to move the blog. Bad idea.

    I followed the instructions but the site would not work.
    I checked the database and everything seemed okay.

    Then I tried moving it back to the original path - changed the location in the database - but still have the same problem.

    Any suggestions??? Please help.

    Thanks
    Paul

    Current error.

    If your blog does not display, please contact the owner of this site.

    If you are the owner of this site please check that MySQL is running properly and all tables are error free.

    Could Not Find Blog!
    Searched for webname.com/WP/ in databasename::wp_blogs table. Is that right?

    Assuming the blog id is one, the 4 places you need to change the domain/url are

    database:
    wp_site
    wp_blogs
    wp_1_options

    code:
    wp-config.php

    Also, where did you move things to and from? Around the same server? From one web host to another? What instructions did you follow?

    I used the instruction from the Wordpress site.

    I checked everything in the database.
    It was moved from a sub-directory of the domain to the main directory.

    I decided to try rebuilding the site - could be worse - as I'm not sure it was fixable. --- But I'd still like to know what went wrong.

    Naturally, I'm have a new problem but not as bad.

    "Could Not Find Blog!

    You missed at least one spot in the database. You have to do a search and replace every single instance of the URL to the new one.

    Hm - They made it sound so simple.
