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.

    I suspect that when you deleted the previous MySQL db, you must have affected the old blog posts. The only way to recover this is to reinstall the old database. Hope you kept a back up.

    If you need to set up a new blog, you can use the same database, but just change your table prefix.

    On line 62 or near there in the wp-config.php file you’ll see:

    $table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

    You could change that to wp_newsite_ or whatever you want…

    Hi Christine,

    Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, restoring the old schema did not work. The new blog works but all the others are still down, as well as the forum.

    Any other ideas would really help as these are business blogs and forums so I would need them to be restored as soon as possible.

    Thank you.

    Hi all,

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