How to move & change without fucking it up??
 

Ok.. so I have wordpress blog on domain

WordPress address (URI): domain.com
Blog address (URI): domain.com


so, I want domain.com to now go to a new index.htm & not the blog, so I make changes as follows;

WordPress address (URI): domain.com
Blog address (URI): domain.com/main/

but this don't fucking work, because domain.com/main/ redirects back to domain.com???

so, I rename index.php to main.php & this still don't help, & now all the other pages are now domain.com/main/pagename/ whereas before they were domain.com/pagename/


Fucking christ-- fuckit!! If it ain't broke, don't fucking fix it!!

should work ...
try using a subdomain :

main.domain.com

Best would habe been to see your apacache conf file, but not everybody wants to divulge that.
