WP_SITEURL variable issue

I need to upload a fully working WordPress website to some online OVH hosting

On localhost, the files are stored in a “wordpress/” subdirectory, whereas online they are stored in the root “www/” directory so that there is no “wordpress” in any url.

So I have done replacements in the database (this is not the first time I do such a move and last time it worked nicely thanks to good tutorials here or there — by the way this http://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/ is really useful)

Still I have spent the whole afternoon unsuccessfully making this website work :

http://www.ditoprod.com/

In fact I need to know more about the WP_SITEURL variable, cf wp_config.php :

define('WP_SITEURL', 'htp:/www.ditoprod.com' );

Actually if I set it to “htp:/www.ditoprod.com/wordpress” the site will not be able to load any image or style because there is no “wordpress” directory, but if I set it to ‘htp:/www.ditoprod.com’ it will only show a blank page as if there were a php error (the problem here is I cannot find how to access OVH apache error logs unless I upgrade my account ><)

Answer

You probably set /wordpress as the home and site URL when you initially set up the site, so the value is stored in the database. Either change the values in the database or put this into wp-config.php

define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://www.ditoprod.com');
define('WP_HOME',    'http://www.ditoprod.com');

There’s also a typo in your URL – it’s “http” not “htp”.
