I had it working and I messed something up and I am afraid I have lost my blog forever. It was just working 5 minutes ago. Here is what I have:
<?php
/** WordPress's config file **/
/** http://wordpress.org/ **/
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', 'amorales'); // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'amorales'); // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', '*****'); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', 'mysql5.secureserver.net'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value
// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple blogs in a single database.
$table_prefix = 'wp_'; // example: 'wp_' or 'b2' or 'mylogin_'
// Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
// chosen language must be installed to wp-includes/languages.
// For example, install de.mo to wp-includes/languages and set WPLANG to 'de'
// to enable German language support.
define ('WPLANG', '');
/* Stop editing */
$server = DB_HOST;
$loginsql = DB_USER;
$passsql = DB_PASSWORD;
$base = DB_NAME;
define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/');
// Get everything else
require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php');
?>
***If anyone can help and let me know what to fix and what to not touch I would be very grateful!!!!!!!

Posted 5 years ago #Yes I am sure. I had it working because I was clicking between it and another page to try and understand the CSS/template thing. When I uploaded my changes on my main part of my site, the wordpress stuff stopped working. I was asking because I know I didn't touch anything on this file because this file wasn't even open at the time.

It could be that your mysql server is down,. temporarily.

Let me clarify it: you were modifying "the main part' of your site - which I suppose is not the same as your blog, then you FTP-d those files, and the WP stopped working. Did I get it well? Are you sure you didn't overwrite anything in the wp directory? (And I repeat: the blog part of your site didn't work a long time ago!)

Posted 5 years ago #That is correct.
If anything was overwritten, I'm not sure how, because I know better than to touch anything in there. I even tried using my backup that I did when it was working (which wasn't that long ago) and it still didn't work. -
Then maybe 2fargon is right: the server...
Sorry for not being able to sort it out. It's late and I'm tired and sleepy. Time to give up for today :) -

I have found when working on files like this, to rename the original. For example, in FTP (or in your HTML editor) rename index.php to index.sparky. Then upload the (hopefully) new and improved index.php. When things go south, you can delete it, and rename your index.sparky until you figure out what you did wrong.
Better yet, grab a copy of YellowTip and load the Apache Server, MySQL and PHP right onto your home box and edit away to your heart's content. You don't ever have to touch the files on your server until you know you "got it right."

I feel like the editing might be outside my capabilities, so I was wondering, How do I know if the problem is with the index file? The error says that I have a problem with wp-config.php, but I didn't change anything.
<<sniff>> I will keep trying! Thanks! -
Posted 5 years ago #OK, I reinstalled everything and it is now working, but it won't let me log in to post or change anything. Time to go search the archives...
