New blog installation

    Hi there,

    I have installed a new blog for one of our websites which had a blog that wasn’t working anymore for some reason. To do so, I deleted the old MySQL schema and created a new MySql schema. My MySql server contains other schemas for blogs and forums for other websites. They all have their own pages and configuration.

    Once the schema was created, I put the database details for the new blog in its wp-config file and ran the install.php file to install the new blog.

    All this went fine. However, it took down all the other blogs and forums. When I try to navigate to these I get an error message for all of them saying that the specified module could not be found.

    Does anyone have an idea of what happened and how it could be fixed?

    Thanks a lot.

    Restore from a backup first.

    Are you saying all your blogs and forums were on one Database?

    They are all in different schemas and their config files are part of different websites, so I don’t understand how installing a new one can have taken all the others down.

    I have restored the tables I had deleted but that did not resolve the issue.

    Are you using the word ‘schema’ to mean ‘database’? They’re different things, you know. (Esp. in Oracle, which I’ve been spending today…)

    What I’m trying to get at is did you delete ONLY the one database that was used for WordPress, did you delete tables from that database, or did you monkey with something else?

    I deleted the database only for that blog. The others have their own database. One of them is even on a different server.

    Are those other sites and forums somehow pointing back to your blog’s DB? Did you have them connected?

    No, they all have their own database. What puzzles me is that they are all separate. They are separated websites with separate configuration and separate databases, so they shouldn’t have been affected by a new installation.

    Unless you made a major typo when installing, they shouldn;t have, you’re right.

    Hi Ipstenu,

    Thank you for your help. The problem is resolved. It turned out to be a php issue on the server.
