Linking Domain to WordPress site on server

    Hi there,

    I currently have wordpress installed on my server and have built a site that is ready to launch.

    The address is http://www.superdreich.com

    I changed the nameservers on the domain hosting site to point them at my server, and though this has resolved successfully, the domain points to my route folder and not my wordpress site.

    My wordpress site is located in public_html/Wordpress/ , but when you visit the domain http://www.superdreich.com it goes to an index / the route folder… how do i link the two?

    I tried moving the contents of the WordPress folder to the route public_html folder of the server and though this loads ok – it means i can no longer log in to the control panel of the website (and i assume just haphazardly moving an entire website will cause lots of other problems, like changes to permalinks etc).

    I also tried uploading an index.html page with a re-direct coded into it so it would jump to the wordpress site – and though this worked, it doesn’t cloak the url (with superdreich.com). Also, this is inappropriate, as i may want to put multiple installations of wordpress on the same server, so i can’t have an index page that links to only one of them.

    Does anyone have any advice as to how i might go about resolving this issue? Any help would be much appreciated!

    Thanks,
    Joe

    Hi there,
    This is the WordPress.COM support forum. You need to post to the WordPress.ORG support forum for help with your site because it is not hosted by WordPress.COM.

    WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate and have different logins, features and run different versions of some themes with the same names http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.
