I would like to change the URL for my Wordpress:
From this: www.example.com/wordpress
To this: www.example.com/game
What do I need to do?
I tried renaming the Wordpress folder to game but this did not work. It caused a linkage problem with the bank-end database.
which server you are using.
if you are using apache or nginx you need to modify you vhost files accordingly to point to the right directory.
location of these file depend on you server's OS.
commonly it is in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ or /etc/apache2/conf.d/
Not open any file in this www.example.com/wordpress folder, Change permission this folder apply 755 permission, stop apache server or stop xampp. after rename your foder name and start apache server or xammp

When running the bncert-tool on my LightSail server, I have accidentally modified some of Apache's configuration files which I now need to revert from the backup directories.
See previous question and answer here for more info: Modified Bncert command has taken site offline
I have looked in both the /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf and /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/bitnami directories and can see a series of files including httpd.conf.back.202101220056 (/conf) and bitnami.conf.back.202101220056 (/bitnami).
My question is which backup files do I need need to copy to which location?
I assume it is performed via a 'mv' command.
Many thanks for your help.
On a bitnami stack the main Apache server configuration file is (httpd.conf)
When you are configuring server for SSL this is usually done in the file (bitnami.conf)
I would start by replacing the current bitnami.conf with the original bitnami.conf. Then restart your server so that the changes that effect. bitnami.conf is located in the directory apache2/conf/bitnami
If that does not fix it then replace the current httpd.conf with the original httpd.conf. Then restart your server so that the changes that effect. httpd.conf is located in the directory apache2/conf .
Note you will find it a lot easier to modify server files if you connect to your server with FileZilla. You can delete and drag and drop to copy files with FileZilla.
I have installed silverstripe 4 into the /var/www/html folder in apache.
However, when I go to the url, I have to use "localhost/public/index.php" in order to obtain the main page. I thought I was to be able to just go to "localhost" to find the defaut page. What am I to do if I want to have a main page without people having to specify "/public/" before it?
Thanks.
Normally, your localhost website can be resolved without adding /public/ if the following 2 things are configured correctly.
Enable Apache mod_rewrite
Having .htaccess rewrite config in /var/www/html
Troubleshooting
Check if you got the right .htaccess in /var/www/html. Basically, this Apache config file will forward all the requests to /public/ folder.
If .htaccess is fine, make sure your mod_rewrite is enabled in your Apache. Check this link.
I have recently changed from Apache to Nginx server and running a Wordpress installation that was migrated onto this new Nginx server.
I only just realised that (the server provider forgot to mention) that the .htaccess file is no longer supported and shouldn't be used with Nginx.
Instead the nginx.conf file should be used. I know I can convert the contents of my current .htaccess file to nginx.conf using one of the convertors, but I don't even have the nginx.conf file.
Can I just create one?? And If I create one, do I place it into the root where currently my .htaccess file is??
Do I then delete the existing .htaccess file?
How should I go about this?
You definitely have nginx.conf - without it, your site wouldn't work. It is in /etc/nginx/ folder, and some additional configs can exist there and in subfolders.
Standard recommendations for WordPress with nginx you can find here in Codex. But if your site works, you have nothing else to do.
Unlike Apache with .htaccess files, nginx does not use any configuration files in WordPress folders. Everything is centralized in /etc/nginx/.
.htaccess files are ignored by nginx and can be deleted or kept in WordPress folders - it doesn't matter.
However, if you have some non-standard tuning in .htaccess files, you should implement relevant directives in nginx conf files. Convertors not very good for it, and produce errors sometimes, unfortunately. You should learn Apache rules used and create similar for nginx by yourself.
Configuration used: ubuntu server 14.04, php-fps, nginx, mysql 5.6 & latest wordpress.
Under the webserver(nginx)
Configured the nginx absolute path as /var/www/html/wordpress/
but Under the wordpress directory:
the style sheets and image file types do not load(404 err) because they are looking for the path http://localhost/wordpress/wp-include & http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content .
As this wordpress directory is missing.
hence we had to create one more directory called "wordpress" and give the soft links to the wp-include & wp-content under this directory.
This being a temporary fix. where exactly do i need to make the changes.
I think that you should modify the site_url in the table in your database, where your site_url has been stored in the wp_option table. It might be http://localhost/your-site/ change it to http://localhost/wordpress/
Hope this helps...
Currently I have a single drupal site installed on apache 2.2 with php 5.3 on RHEL 6. I am moving servers and am trying to migrate the site. I have imported the database and htaccess, but I cannot access any of the pages other than the root of the site.
You may need to disable clean URLs before exporting the database, try to add ?q= before each path.
That happens when:
a) Apache mod_rewrite is not enabled. If you have root access then do sudo a2enmod rewrite
or
b) .htaccess file at the root folder isn't there, so you need to copy it again.
Here's a troubleshoot check list for mod_rewrite issues:
Make sure Apache's rewrite module is enabled: sudo a2enmod rewrite.
Make sure original .htaccess file is there in the root of your Drupal installation.
Make sure that the existing .htaccess file is getting read by Apache. To test it, add a this line in the beginning of the file and you should get a 500 Internal Server Error: ThisIsReallyABadSyntax.
If the .htaccess file is not in effect, make sure that the AllowOverride directive in the main Apache config file (usually /etc/apache2/httpd.conf on debian-based distros) is set to All. It might be set to None by default.
Finally, make sure that the clean URLs feature is enabled in Drupal settings.
With the phpinfo(); compare all the server specs, just to be sure both server are quite the same or similar.
Steps to migrate Drupal correctly:
Go to Configuration
find Clean URLs
Disable tick inside!
Clean cache!
Download your site file
Download your database
Create new database in your new site
Transfer file and database
Log in
10.Do this step to enable Clean URLs:
It's work 100% guaranteed !
Steps:
1. Download - Dev version (7.x-dev)
2. Find file .htaccess
3. just copy it to your server
4. That's it !
