http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory
This site provides great step-by-step instructions for sweeping the WordPress files out of the root and into a sub-directory. However, this may cause some vendor clients to choke when looking for the xmlrpc.php. This happened to me when trying to set up my “external blog” at bimactive.com
Assuming that the new folder you created is called wp, then the uri for the xmlrpc.php file is: http://yourserver.com/wp/xmlrpc.php. However, the html header generated by WordPress shows a link to http://yourserver.com/xmlrpc.php. Any app following this link will be sent a 404 error.
View the source of this page to see for yourself. At the bottom of the head tag is the following line:
<link rel="EditURI" type="application/rsd+xml" title="RSD" href="http://www.srhaber.com/xmlrpc.php?rsd" />
To work-around this problem, I created symbolic links at the root folder to point to the xmlrpc.php and wp-config.php files (wp-config.php is a dependency for xmlrpc.php)
ln -s wp/xmlrpc.php xmlrpc.php
ln -s wp/wp-config.php wp-config.php
This fix is simple, and prevents any unnecessary hacking of the WordPress core code.

good work Shaun, i have problem similar to this but i haven’t resolve it yet.
i installed wordpress in my root directory but when i access the xmlrpc.php, i get 404 error. I have searching around in wordpress support forum but i can’t find anything. There’s some people have a problem like me but not resolved.
tired.
Hi buchin,
I got the same 404 error trying to access your xmlrpc.php. That’s odd. I’m assuming you covered all the basics, including making sure the file actually exists
Is there anything suspicious in your .htaccess file that might be the cause?
yep, the file was exist. i think it must be .htaccess or my host server settings. I’ll looking around, thanks
Hi,
I am also facing the same problem. Everything is fine but still getting error like 404 . I have .htaccess in my folder. Its working fine for performancing but when i am trying with XMLRPC getting 404 error..
is anyone answer how to solve this?
