• hi,
    i am helping to a friend here.
    he already bought a server for his blog (yes, i see now that this was a mistake) and he wants to put wordpress there. he have a space at stargate.com.
    can you help me in installing the package into this server?
    he have here: asp, asp.net, perl and cgi-bin. i know it’s a shity extensions, but maybe you have some instructions for that.

    thanks in advanced.

  • I would suggest that your friend look at setting a server up – something way beyond what we can offer here.

    well, he did put everything on the server, but once he run the domainname.com/wp-admin/install.php he gets 404 message.
    this is what he wrote at the wp-config

    <?php
    // ** MySQL settings ** //
    define(‘reuven_blog’, ‘wordpress’); // The name of the database
    define(‘wordpress’, ‘username’); // Your MySQL username
    define(‘*******’, ‘password’); // …and password
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

    thanks

    Sorry for being pain in the ass.
    I am just not familiar with this process, and I am sitting here to help a friend, and got to go soon.
    In his control panel there is no “mysql”, only “Microsoft SQL Server 2000”, so I added a database and created a user. But I couldn’t find a place to add permissions or something like appears in the guide for installing.

    Is there something I should do that I missed? I can give here the password and everything to someone who can help.

    He don’t have MySQL or PHP..?
    I’d suggest getting a refund and move to a host that have 🙂
