I'm having some problems with a subdomain that i activated using godaddy hosting! everything seems to work fine, except for the domain itself, I can't access my subdomain using http://sierranortesevilla.tritton.es i get a 500 error, i have to access from http://sierranortesevilla.tritton.es/wordpress i tried changing the siteURL from WordPress setting but nothing, i still get that error! what should I do? Have I done something wrong?

PS: WordPress is installed in a subdirectory, I actually have two WordPress installations: one for the primary domain and tha other for the subdomain PS2: I'm using Godaddy hosting Under Windows

Answer 1

Have you followed all the instructions given in the WordPress documentation about installing WordPress in a folder but using it for root access?

Details can be found HERE

You pretty much have to just copy and paste the index.php and .htaccess file into the root and then change the url's in the index.php, wp-config.php and also the admin settings & permanlinks page.

Answer 2

As Stewartside said, change the wp-config.php,

Then change the site_url field in "wp_options" table, Then go to Wordpress Admin > Settings > Click Save Permalink.

Then try to run your site. It will automatically update the changes to .htaccess too.

So hope this works for you.
