• Hello, a converting problem.

    I used Notepad to alter the mysql details in WordPress 2.2
    Altered wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php and hit ‘save’.

    It should have saved this file to wp-config.php
    but instead saved it to wp-config.txt and I can see no way of turning the .txt into a .php file. .TXT is useless when uploaded to my server, of course.

    In the learning video, Dave Guindon, the teacher, saved it and it somehow shows up as a .php file, but I can’t contact him. Mine doesn’t!

    Any quick and easy way of doing this, please.

    Thanks,

    Ray.

  • open the notepad file back up

    save as wp-config.php

    in the next field you will see that it automatically wants to save to txt use the drop down menu to change that to all files and your good to go

    Thank you, that part seemed to work and I continued. Went through the steps and cane to the “Log In’.

    Logged in and was confronted with this horror:

    Shall leave it on the computer and hope some kind soul can help my resolve this scary error page.

    Is it now beyond repair?

    Cheers,

    Ray.

    P.S. Just received the url to my new, but empty blog in my email file at:
    http://www.raygc.com/wordpress/

    Unfortunately it has an error? message at the top, any idea what sort of a ‘dogs dinner’ I made of the installation?

    Cheers,

    Ray

    Check your wp-config file. Most likely you have an empty/blank line or a space after the very last ?>
    Place the cursor right after it and keep the Delete button prseed.
    Save. Upload.

    Generally the Save As is covered in Boot Camp……

    Thank you so very much. Your generous help enabled to to struggle through and achieve a small victiry for your kindness, but a very large one, for this new chum(p).

    However, as you can see below, I’m only about three quarters through the first video of this series. Much, still to do. Shall take them one step at a time. Looking at all 25 videos, all at once, scares the pants off me!

    So, you might be hearing from me again.

    Thank you again,

    Cheers,

    Ray.
