gburgan on "Moving WP from sub to root directory"

So, after watching a few training videos, I attempted to move my WP site from its subdirectory to the root.

Steps I followed:

-Logged into WP admin and changed Settings:General, WordPress Address and Site Address to just the url name with no subdirectory.

-Using FTP, moved all existing files in root directory into and "old_site" folder.

-Then moved all files/folders in the WP subdirectory to the root directory and deleted the then empty WP directory.

Result: Site is down, can't access wp-admin.

Any thoughts?
