In reply to: Creating a mySQL databaseBleh the system admin is on vacation and he as locked all users from creating a database on the ACM server. 🙁
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Installing Via TerminalYes, the login/password that I use to log into ssh is the mySQL login/password that I plan on using.
I’m still trying to setup a mySQL database but I’m still having problems with it. I think this is the only thing that is preventing from getting this thing to work.Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Installing Via TerminalYeah, seriously I just emailed the system admin for the club server and what drives me nuts is that the guy is very laggy on his responses. Since everyone is on vacation right now, it’s really hard to get a hold of people on campus.
I mean seriously this installation does not take long. If anything I think my problem is trying to get the files uploaded. If you go to this link right here: http://acmserver.cs.ucr.edu/~rvillatoro/wordpress/
As you can see I get the following error message:
Error establishing a database connection! This probably means that the connection information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect. Double check it and try again.
Are you sure you have the correct user/password?
Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
Are you sure that the database server is running?

Well I put in my login and pw for the server. In terms of the host name, I didn’t change it and left it as localhost. Everything on the server is running at the moment, so there shouldn’t be any problems. I just really think that I don’t know how to install this thing. There is something that I’m not doing right.
I really wish that the club server would allow me to connect to them via Remote Desktop. Unfortunately I have to do all of this through the Linux terminal.
Thanks for all the help guys. Bleh, any other suggestions would still be greatly appreciated.Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Installing Via TerminalOn top of that, the server that I work with does have apache, PHP, and MySQL.

In reply to: Installing Via TerminalWell, on the installation instructions it says that I have to upload the files onto the server. Well if I’m already logged into my server account via ssh and I downloaded all the files onto my user directory. Should I still have to upload the files to myself? I’m confused about this part. If I do have to actually upload my files, how would I go about that?

In reply to: Installing Via TerminalWell, I’m still stuck unfortunately. I went to the 5 minute installation site and i says to “fill in your database details” I seriously don’t know much about PHP or mySQL, so I wouldn’t even know where to begin on how to modify the wp-config.php file. 🙁
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Installing Via TerminalOk cool I just did the tar in my server directory, now the only thing left is to modify the wp-config.php file. Which I don’t what to do with it.
Can anybody help? Sorry I’m a newbie to this.
Oh and another note the server says that for every file that I want to display on my website, I am going to have to do a chmod ~755. Which honestly I don’t know what it means.
Thanks for the responses guys, I really appreciate it,
Peace,

In reply to: Installing Via TerminalI can ssh into the server, if that’s what you’re referring to. I forgot how you transfer files via ssh from your desktop, but from what I remember it went something like:
cp <foldername> <source directory>………..or something in that sense.
In terms of the ACM server, we have full support for PHP, mySQL, and just about everything else.
