Resetting Your Password
I am getting to a login screen, but have not been able to log in. I assume it has something to do with a config file that is not properly set up. Let me know what you need and I will post it.
But what message do you get?
401 Unauthorized
Your client does not have permission to get URL / from this server.
That’s not a WordPress error. That’s a server configuration issue.
The Ubuntu support folks can help you set your server (and services) up properly. Once you have that rolling, give it another shot.
Hi,
I found the problem, my router was not letting me through.
This is what I am getting now;
404 Not found
Warning: require_once(/etc/wordpress/config-63.230.65.163.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/blog/wordpress/wp-config.php on line 24
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/etc/wordpress/config-63.230.65.163.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear’) in /var/www/blog/wordpress/wp-config.php on line 24
thats what I am getting at 163,
this is what I get at 164
404 Not Found
The requested URL /var/www/blog/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php was not found on this server.
I have noted that I have wordpress folders in at least three different areas;
/usr/share/wordpress
/etc/wordpress
/var/www/blog/wordpress
I imagine this could cause a problem. Now when I try the ip address I get the following;
404 Not found
Error establishing a database connection
This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost. This could mean your host’s database server is down.
* Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
* Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
* Are you sure that the database server is running?
If you’re unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.
I have not yet been able to run install.php
I have not been able to access it.
You must determine where your Apache web server is looking for it’s content. That’s the “wordpress” folder that you’ll then care about. The others can be deleted.
Assuming you’ve truly got things working (I’m a bit bemused as to why you’d need to configure your router if the server and workstation are both internal?) try browsing, from the ubuntu machine, to http://localhost/wordpress/
I am attempting to do this from a remote site, could that be the problem?
The complete path is /var/www/blog/wordpress
