 * So this is what my installer is appearing as
 * [http://smolderingreformation.com/weblog/wp-admin/](http://smolderingreformation.com/weblog/wp-admin/)
 * The config file should have the proper database name and password and everything.
   I confess I haven’t run any apps on this one, I used to admin a phpBB board before
   on another site, but this one basically has been a glorified attempt to see how
   far I could push iWeb. So I made a new database and database user and all that,
   the database user does have read/write permissions.
 * Anyone wanna give me an idea why this isn’t working?

   <– NOT so good
 * 1. get your host to make sure PHP is running, and that the webserver (apache 
   or whatever) is talking to PHP.
 * 2. REDO your wp-config.php with values that arent publically accessible.

 * and after looking at your wp-config.php, I’ll make a friendly reccomendation 
   to use better, longer keys, and to not have them be the same.
 * You dont have to remember them, after all.

 * I went to post on my site and got the WP page to upgrade to 2.8.3. I went ahead
   and downloaded, have the zip file, but don’t know how to continue. I downloaded
   the instructions as well, but it’s not making any sense. I’m in the Thirty Day
   Challenge which uses WPdirect and I want to import my website over there. HELP!
