Re: The five minute install instructions from the Digging into WordPress book

I maybe saying something you already know – if you do, I am sorry!!

Open your root directory’s index.php file in a text editor.
Change the following and save the file. Change the line that says:

require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);

to the following, using your directory name for the WordPress core files:

require(‘./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’);

You also need to go to ‘wp-admin’ > ‘Settings: General’ and change the site URL and Blog URL to reflect your structure:

Wordpress address: http://path.to.root/thenwordpresscore/
Site address: http://path.to.root/

If that makes sense.
