Any clues as to how to adapt the code?

gixxer188,

Problem solved! I finally went into the hosting file manager and saw the line 17 was not getting change during the file transfer… it is working now! Thanks for your help and patience…you were correct all along and I knew I was missing something somewhere…

Yes, what I copied above is what is in the root directory; it must be a host problem. My text editor does not show lines, you can see what the actual index.php file is above…

That is what I think I am doing too, but it is just not working…

This is my index.php code:

<?php
/**
 * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
 * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 */

/**
 * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
 *
 * @var bool
 */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require('./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php');
?>

Have I got something wrong here?
All of my wp files are in https://www.visit-eam.org/wordpress; I have moved a copy of index.php to the root directory of https://www.visit-eam.org; I have changed the name of my old index.html file to old_index.html
Can’t figure what I am missing…

I am still not having any luck with this; I have gone through these steps… something is missing somewhere…

This is what the index.php file looks like:
Sorry, but I am not seeing what I have got going wrong here:

`<?php
/**
* Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn’t do anything, but loads
* wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
*
* @package WordPress
*/

/**
* Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
*
* @var bool
*/
define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require(‘./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’);
?>

Okay, did all that and got this error message trying to log into the site:

‘Warning: main(./wp-blog-header.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\Inetpub\vhosts\visit-eam.org\httpdocs\index.php on line 17

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘./wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path=’.;./includes;./pear’) in C:\Inetpub\vhosts\visit-eam.org\httpdocs\index.php on line 17′

Yes, but my current site has an index.html; do I need to get rid of that for my site to use the wordpress pages?

Should I then rename my original index.html to something else if I want to keep it to refer people too?

Okay thanks that did work… But, I still want the home page of my wordpress site to be my new home page; I have tried to move all of my files to the (AFTER changing the siteurl value) back root directory and I still get an error message. What step am I leaving out?

This was helpful! But is there a way to select which pictures that are in the gallery to show in the slide show?

I discovered that I did not have an .htaccess file in my wordpress root directory so I added one that looks like this:

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

Is this correct? Or do I need to do something else? I still get the same error message.

I have tried that and still get the same error message:

Directory Listing Denied

This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed.

I have even gone in and tried to access the site admin by going directly to the index.php and get the same message.

I am sure it has to be something simple, but can’t figure what it is…
