Cais,

Sorry to say, I am a bit of a novice, I would not know where to look for error logs, nor what they might tell me.

Dave

thanks

Thanks for your help, but since I am new at this, how do I see that file (open it or edit it)?

awesome thanks alex, i never saw the tabs!!!!!

i fixed it, i had not set up my site as static

thanks

One more thing- this is what is on that unwanted home page

“Not Found
Apologies, but no results were found for the requested archive. Perhaps searching will help find a related post.”

esmi, that looks great, I guess I have to do the reverse. My wordpress files are allready in the subdirectory /wordpress. See any problem?

OK, so the normal way would be to have two instances of wordpress installed:

https://www.domainname.com/wordpress (which I have today)-(but it is not yet delivering the web info, since I don’t know how to do that)

and

https://www.domainname.com/dev/wordpress

and to create that, I just copy the entire current wordpress folder to this new folder. Then how do I know which instance of wordpress to get onto when I log in for development?

And I still don’t know how to get the dev work I have done to be the live site.

Sorry to be a pain, everything else has gone great!

I have this already

https://domainname.com/wordpress

It’s not that I want to use worpress from root, I just want to do what the normal proceess would be – develop, create, test and then publish.

Thanks

The dev folder was only used for the non wp development. Ishould copy the entire wordpress folder including the three subfolders?

WordPress is installed at go daddy like this:

html
cgi
dev (my development folder)
images
old code
wordpress

Currently I do development in https://www.domainname.com/dev, and then when ready to go, I copy files from dev to html folder and I am live. How do I do the same with wp?

thanks
