OMG!So far; so good.
It all looks like it’s there.
Just changed “Settings” and it worked.
OMG!Thank God for people like you and cubecolour, peredur.
There’ll be a little something extra in your checks when I hit the lottery.

In reply to: How do I set up a second site in a WAMP localhost install?Yeah, just like you said before, peredur.
I’m gonna do that again right now.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How do I set up a second site in a WAMP localhost install?Yes, it actually says “you don’t have PERMISSION to access…”
Sorry about that.As for permissions, I have no idea if they have the same permissions. I don’t know how to determine that on a localhost setup.
And, no, same error when trying to access readme.html.
One thing: The new database has no tables in it.
It has two users—one root—with global privileges, but no tables.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How do I set up a second site in a WAMP localhost install?OK, cubecolour:
I started over:1. Copied original site folder to root under wordpress2 name.
2. Modified wp-config.php in wordpress2 to this: define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress2’);
3. Created new wordpress2 database using phpMyAdmin.
4. Exported original site in dashboard/tools/export.
5. Attempted to access login page at http://localhost/wordpress2/wp-admin.
6. Got 403 FORBIDDEN page: “You do not have access to…”Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How do I set up a second site in a WAMP localhost install?Hey, thanks, cubecolour.
I’ll chew on that for a while, as it’s past my bedtime on this side of the world. I may be back cryin’ for help before it’s over.Peredur helped me a lot, and I’m now so close to figuring it out.
I’ll look into this.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How do I set up a second site in a WAMP localhost install?I meant: Some “other” place besides the user database area?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How do I set up a second site in a WAMP localhost install?Is there some place I may need to reset the password?
In a file somewhere, maybe?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How do I set up a second site in a WAMP localhost install?Well, DUH!
OK, peredur: Now I get it.
“Trying won’t hurt.”
Yeah, I didn’t even read past the “admin” fix.
What an idiot. Just got too much runnin’ through my head on this.Anyway, went into phpMyAdmin and reset the password for “User” per instructions in the wordpress codex link you sent.
Tried login: No Go.
Tried it without the MD5 thingy in the “Function” field per the instructions. Same result, and I get the same error message on both attempts:“ERROR: The password you entered for the username xxxxxxx is incorrect.”
Ummmmmm…
So close….Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How do I set up a second site in a WAMP localhost install?No.
The login username and password for the original site work fine.
No problem getting in to the dashboard.The problem is the new site: The wordpress login page for the new site with the newdatabase. Even if I wanted to change the password, I can’t get past the login window and into the dashboard where I could change it.
However, why would the password for the new site be different, or worse still, have gotten changed somehow? All I did was import the original database into the new one.
I would assume that the login username and password for the new site would be the same as the old one, simply because the original database was imported into the newdatabase. Is this not correct?
Where are you cubecolour?
Do you have an opinion on this?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How do I set up a second site in a WAMP localhost install?Thanks, peredur.
I exported the existing database and imported it into the newdatabase.
I also “restarted all services” in mySql.
Went to new login page and attempted login with original wordpress login username and password of original site, and it simply didn’t take the password. No error, just left the login page there for me to try again.Should the wordpress login for the new site be the same as the login for the original one if I just did an import of the database?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How do I set up a second site in a WAMP localhost install?Yeah, peredur: I did that, too.
Please correct me here if I’m wrong:
After exporting the original database, and after creating the newdatabase, I can open the newdatabase in phpMyAdmin and “import” the original one into it?Is that what happens? If I have the new one open in phpMyAdmin and “import,” does the import go into the new one?
Also, can I get the same thing by doing this:
I opened the original in phpMyAdmin and noticed that it can be “copied” into the newdatabase. I tried that, and it works. Would this be the same as importing the original into the new one?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How do I set up a second site in a WAMP localhost install?YIKES!
1. copied wordpress folder into root and renamed it.
2. created new database with no tables.
3. edited wp-config as follows: define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘newdatabase’);
4. exported first site using Tools/Export in dashboard.
5. tried login at http://localhost/wordpress2/wp-admin so I could import exported content.
6. got the dreaded 403 forbidden error.I can’t remember what to do here.
Should I copy the original database info into the newdatabase, or what?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How do I set up a second site in a WAMP localhost install?Wow!
Thanks so much folks.Just for the record, peredur, do you mean create a folder in the wamp/www/ folder and actually do a “full install” of wordpress from scratch into that folder?
As for cubecolour, wow; this explanation makes more sense than anything I’ve seen in hours of searching the Net for an answer.
I’ll get right on this and see what I get.
Thanks so much to both of you!
