shahidmusman on "Site URL opens root directory"

Hi there!

I made my site on my local server and was trying to upload it onto a subdomain. My subdomain is http://bestteamever.sempnec.org and I've configured '/public_html/bestteamever' to be the root folder of this subdomain.

Now, I uploaded ALL the files from the local wordpress folder into the 'public_html/bestteamever' directory [which is the root folder of the subdomain] and then imported the database as well. I've made the necessary changes in the database as well (changing the siteurl and home values in the wp_options table) but still whenever I type in the URL http://bestteamever.sempnec.org, I get the index folder with all the files and everything. My site is not loading.

I've checked and re-checked the index file and everything seems fine. But its still not loading.

This is a test site and the actual site needs to go live in 5 days. Any help in the matter would be appreciated.

You are most likely looking to change two settings in the wp_options table. The two records you are looking to modify are the records for siteurl and home

There are many ways to accomplish this, try reading through these two articles to see which one best meets your needs.

Hi! Thanks for the reply!
But as I mentioned in my post, I've already updated the siteurl and the home records in the wp_options table. But the issue is still there.

@shahidmusman,

Before thinking about fixing database issues, the server is the main issue here because your subdomain is not setup correctly:

http://bestteamever.sempnec.org/

Clearly the server does not recognize any index.php file or any other type of index file whatsoever. It still thinks WordPress files do not exist which means either you didn't upload them correctly or your server and/or control panel are misconfigured.

I've tried installing and re-installing multiple times. Manually and through Softaculous Scripts.

I've also tried creating a new subdomain and have tried installing a fresh copy of WP on that.

But still the same problem.
The new sub domain is
