when I was supposed to upload the new config-file to my new site I happened to upload it to my already existing where I downloaded it from
Is it possible that the problem may just be with your database related config entries in wp-config? (does it contain the data for the new site now instead of the old one)? Check and make sure that information…
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘putyourdbnamehere’);
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘usernamehere’);
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘yourpasswordhere’);
…is correct for the site you are working on.
They way I understand it, and here is a reference, the keys themselves can be changed at any time.

Well… no it don’t work on the new site either. On new site I don’t even get it installed. It says “wrong username/password, or if server is down and that things…
But what is wrong then? The username is correct (changed it back), same with tablename and password. The rest I left as it was except the define part.
Normally I would just say restore the wp-config file from the last site backup you did, but I guess I assumed you would have tried that first.
This may or may not have an effect, but at this point it is worth a try. Changing keys invalidates site cookies. Close your browser, clear its cache, and try it again. I doubt it will work, but what the heck…

As far as the new site is concerned, that’s all fresh, so it’s all about correct data in the config file I would think.

Well… backup I never really did.
I have like 6 or 7 sites. The one I use the blogg on is my site for my pets and then on the other site I just want it to be a blog site, so I have the blog in root folder.
I installed the blog on my pets site 3 days ago, tried it for 2 days and then tried to install the blog on my blogsite (where I have it in root folder).
First it worked fine on my pets site while I tried to setup on my own blogsite. But never got the blogsite to work. So then I tried the download thing from my pets site since that file worked and just exchanged the info as from originally file. But after I uploaded that changed file, on pets site, instead of my blogsite everything crashed on pets site too. So now I don’t have any blog.
