 * Well, now it is 10:40Pm in Yokohama, Japan
 * I have got the wp files in the public_html root directory but I am getting an
   error in establishing a data base connection …quelle joy.
 * I suppose I will have to trundle off to another part of the forum to learn all
   about that after I reconfigged the config file ….and put all the correct database
   ids and passwords in.
 * I am exhausted but I am not giving up until this b******works.
 * See you in the morning.
 * You know I bet 000 webhost is not giving fantastico to us on purpose. It is a
   ploy to get us to upgrade.
 * AHHHHHH…taht ‘s all folks….except to say I truly appreciate the work the experts
   have done to grok the ins and outs of root directories, ftp, and file directories.
 * It never appealed much to me but I can recognize that a skill is involved …sort
   of like a modern day stone mason.
 * Best,

 * As per the norm
 * Word Press Install may well be a piece of cake install with Fantastico but for
   a complete first timer using filezilla and OOOwebhost it has proven to be a real
   monster.
 * I have watched 6 or seven google videos downloaded 2.9.2 got it up to the file
   directory and even have seen the files propagate once as a list down the side
   of my web site home page but as to actually seeing the bloody intro page in www.
   domain name. com/wp-admin./install.php well that is a no show .
 * I can not understand why this forum does not immediately post a full video with
   every upgrade, for the manual install.
    Changing the config file is not so bad
   but understanding how to get filezilla to pass over the files to the server and
   get the file directory to cooperate to get them all set up in the public_html
   is truly awful.
 * I have cleaned out the files 5 times today re loaded them to the webhost and 
   played around with the database settings.
 * There is no clear place that shows where to click exactly so I am clicking back
   and forth between the filezilla and the file directory hoping for a breakthrough.
 * Of course I appreciate that this is a voluntary group and I am ranting…but in
   this day and age when you have posterous I just don’t see why it has to be so
   difficult.
 * Of course it looks easy as pie when you watch a video but there is always some
   difference in the actual performance.
 * Yes, the clicks are tempermental.
 * How can I get the WP files that are all in the swerver file directory into public
   html or wherever so I can get going with a simple blog?
 * I don’t care about many blogs or sub directories or complexity…….
    I just want
   to get on with writing in plain English.
 * Thank you in advance for any ideas including advil and prozac.
 * HAL/cashstack
