installed WP in wrong folder?

Perhaps I did not install Wordpress correctly. You stated that it should be installed in the same domain as /backlight so I installed in
/backlight. Was that wrong??
And if so how do I recover from that.

see http://community.theturninggate.net/vie … hp?id=7075

Should I have installed WP in /public_html?

Re: installed WP in wrong folder?

it should be in a folder that is at the same level as the backlight/ folder

backlight/  is in the root of your site. The folder where you installed WordPress should also be in the root of your site:

public_html/
                 backlight/
                 blog/
                        Wordpress installed inside blog/ folder

Re: installed WP in wrong folder?

But it is not in my case. That is my question. How do I recover now? Just reinstall WP one level up?

Re: installed WP in wrong folder?

you'll need to delete all the existing WordPress files first. If some of those happen to have the same name as Backlight files you'll need to re-upload the backlight files.
Put your WordPress installation in a sub-folder of the root. It should be at the same level as backlight/, not inside the backlight/ folder.

Download Wordpress, download Backlight. Look at the downloaded files and compare to what's on your server.
