Restored Database – Blank Main page now

  • Ubuntu LAMP
    Apache 2

    Yes, this is very similar to a thread I found.

    However, while adding in the wp-login.php does in fact get me a login in page (intending to change the theme) I get the “simplified login screen… that obviously looks wrong

    Title
    username
    password
    “remember me”
    Login button
    ..etc

    When I put in my credentials and login, I get a 404 error and noticed that the URL has change from /kenb/ to /blog/ which is I’m sure carrying over from before I moved the WP install to a more logical folder. I am suspicious of an Apache configuration somewhere and I am familiar with the apache2.conf file which I have edited in the past for the relocation of the WP install mentioned above. Here is the section of that file that I believe should be making it work right.
    # WordPress Info
    #
    #Alias /blog /usr/share/wordpress
    #<Directory /usr/share/wordpress>
    #Options FollowSymLinks
    #AllowOverride Limit Options FileInfo
    #DirectoryIndex index.php
    #</Directory>
    #
    #
    Alias /kenb /home/kenb/wordpress
    <Directory /home/kenb/wordpress>
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride Limit Options FileInfo
    DirectoryIndex index.php
    </Directory>

    That is in-fact the folder structure
    home
    kenb
    wordpress
    wp-admin
    (etc)

    What other places should I cheek to verify these kinds of settings that would make the “login” button go to an old but not there anymore web file (index.php I’m guessing) I have searched the wp-login.php code and there are no references to a url path specifically called out as …/blog/… other than multiple variable callouts such as
    ( <?php bloginfo(‘name’); ) so i cant see where it is being told to go to this old path.

    i am obviously missing something

    Also when trying my domain/wp-admin
    it redirects to the /blog/ URL a 404 error with this:
    The requested URL /blog/wp-login.php was not found on this server.

    Hi,

    Check with these options:

    -> Disable all the plugins by renaming the plugins directory from FTP.
    -> upgrade your wordpress to the latest version
    -> change your theme to default to rules out theme level problem.
    -> Repair your wordrpess database and assign require permissions to database user.

    Thanks,

    Shane G.

    renamed plugins folder
    I am at 2.8.4
    I have seen help on this issue regarding themes. However I cannot login to change it to default.
    I have just restored to this new DB and I was getting a “cannot connect to database” until I flushed and verified permissions.

    Thnks for your suggestions. I am thinking the “themes” issue is to blame(makes sense actaully) but the url issue is keeping me from logging in to set that to the default.
