Upgrading is trivial — if your host isn’t Yahoo. As I’ve tried to point out in your other thread, they make it difficult.
Assuming you skipped that whole “backup your site before upgrading” step, you might have to contact your host and see if THEY have a backup of that file for you.
If not, you’ll need to ask them for help to determine the proper db values for the wp-config.php.
What’s up solo
You were correct about everything, like I said I’m new at this tech stuff so I guess I’m learning the hardway.Anyway I did backup my site, I have a copy of it on my hard drive.
I’ll do as you suggest and call my host and see If the can help with this issue. Otherwise I’ll just install a whole new blog.
Thanks for your help
Well wait – if you backed it up first, then you have your old wp-config.php there, yes? Just pop it back up to the web site then.
Good call I’ll try that and see what happens.
While you’re at it, first edit it (use a simple text editor like Notepad).
Find and remove this line:
define('WP_CACHE', true); //Added by WP-Cache Manager
That should clear up the blank pages issue that you were having yesterday.
I,ll give it a go and post back!
Thanks
Whats up guys-
I looked in my backup file that I created but I don’t see the wp-config.php file. I guess they don’t let you back that info up. Or either I’m not looking in the right spot. I don’t know-
Also I called my host and they said they couldn’t help with that, they directed me back here. So they ain’t worth nothing.
I probally have to install from scratch.
Contact Yahoo and DEMAND:
database name:
database user:
database pass:
database connection:
Optionally, install the phpmyadmin they provide with the one-click. If you can possibly remember your database user/pass, you can get the other 2 values.
Actually I did the 1 click install for my blog by yahoo!
when I signed up with their hosting. What password are you talking about? The password I use to get into my blog?
