so…
wp-config.php reads as follows
<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define(’DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’); // The name of the database
define(’DB_USER’, ‘root’); // Your MySQL username
define(’DB_PASSWORD’, ”); // …and password (needs to be empty, just for local install)
define(’DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
define(‘WP_HOME’, ‘http://localhost/wordpress’);
define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);
require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.php’);
?>
i have also changed “siteurl” and “home” in the database table “wp_options” to http://localhost/wordpress
in phpmyadmin i can see the db and have done some queries and the db looks fine
localhost/wordpress returns an “error establishing a db connection”
any more ideas?
so now I can login and see dashboard and posts etc – but when I click on “visit site” it takes me to localhost/wordpress and a blank page
strange?
And you followed all the instructions in Moving WordPress?
sorted now – but I’ve seen somewhere a hack to allow both localhost and hosted db’s from the same db (ie it’ll default to local host when it sees it – otherwise hosted db)
any idea where I can find that hack?
cheers
