    Hi, I wanted to change my blog address to be mysite.com/blog from the main page. I did this and now cannot get into admin area. I understand that I have to move some files around. Do I need to create a blog folder under WordPress? What files need to be moved so that I can login back to my site?

    Thanks

    Create the new location using one of these two options:
    1.If you will be moving your WordPress core files to a new directory, create the new directory.
    2.If you want to move WordPress to your root directory, make sure all index.php, .htaccess, and other files that might be copied over are backed up and/or moved, and that the root directory is ready for the new WordPress files.
    3.Login to your blog.
    Go to the Administration > Settings > General panel.
    In the box for WordPress address (URI): change the address to the new location of your main WordPress core files.
    In the box for Blog address (URI): change the address to the new location, which should match the WordPress address (URI).
    Click Save Settings.
    (Do not try to open/view your blog now!)
    WordPress 2.0 only: Delete the folder wp-content/cache.
    4.Move your WordPress core files to the new location. This includes the files found within the original directory, such as https://example.com/wordpress, and all the sub-directories, to the new location.
    If you are using Permalinks, go to the Administration > Settings > Permalinks panel and update your Permalink structure to your .htaccess file, which should be in the same directory as the main index.php file.
    If you have problems with missing images that you’ve uploaded, you need to change the path to the images on every post directly on your SQL database. For this, follow the instructions on Tamba2’s Tutorial “Moving your weblog inside your PC”.
    You must also check and edit ‘store uploads folder’ under Settings-Miscellaneous or all your new uploads will continue to go into the old folder.
    Existing image/media links uploaded media will refer to the old folder and must be updated with the new location.

    Ok how do I do 1. I did 3 and that is when the problems occurred of not logging in. #4 what files do I move and what is the new location? If I move the files to the newly created location will I be able to login and will my blog be at https://www.example.com/blog

    Thanks for your kind responses
