    Looks great, glad you got it fixed and came out largely unscathed..:)

    Regards

    Are you certain all the files were uploaded to your site? Can you use a FTP program and go to the /wp-includes/ directory and confirm that you see the wp-db.php file there?

    Regards

    Another piece of advice, when you are doing fixing your blog with this software, I would strongly recommend either password protecting the directory or removing your username/password from the config.inc.php file. Otherwise, ANYONE can get into the backend of your blog and do nearly anything they want.

    You wanna be editing the following three lines:

    On my version of the file (2.6.1-pl3)
    $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘host’] – Line 69
    $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘user’] – Line 84
    $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘password’] – Line 85

    I removed the last entry from my phpMyAdmin configuration and got the same error message as you. So that is most likely the culprit.

    You can leave virtually everything else in the file unchanged.

    To make a plugin of that specific code it would have to be released first. 🙂

    That being said, I haven’t seen any other plugin out there that does this sort of work.

    You should essentially copy over the Username, Password, Hostname into your ‘config.inc.php’. The error message seems to indicate you didn’t provide a password for phpMyAdmin to login to the database.

    That’s strange, I see the problem on FF 1.0.4, Konqueror and Opera under Linux.

    Your blog is sitting at: http://www.incsub.org/wpmu/cvera/ and the “Next Page” link is pointing to: http://www.incsub.org/wpmu/cvera/wpmu/wp-inst/index.php?paged=2

    I notice an extra “/wpmu/wp-inst/” in the URL. If that is incorrect, it needs to be fixed.

    Modify the file ‘config.inc.php’ in your phpMyAdmin directory with the necessary database username/password that you have in your ‘wp-config.php’ file.

    Just entering the username and password should be enough. Now when you go to http://yourdomain.com/phpMyAdmin (or wherever you installed it), you will see a nice graphical program. From the drop down menu, choose your WordPress database. You can gather the name from ‘wp-config.php’ again.

    Now, click on the ‘wp-options’ link in the left menu. From there, in the right window click on “Browse” to show you all the information stored in the ‘wp-options’ table. You should now to go the second page using the > button and look for ‘blog_charset’ optionname. Once you find the entry, “Edit” it, make the necessary changes and “Save” at the bottom of the page.

    Hope that gets you going.

    Regards

    Are you by any chance running phpMyAdmin on your website?

    If so, great. If not, grab it and you can make the necessary changes to the database directly and fix your issues.

    You will need to edit the ‘wp_options’ field and on the second page, you will find an entry aptly named ‘blog_charset’ that needs to be set to “UTF-8”.

    Hopefully whatever is ailing your blog will be fixed by this change.

    I don’t quite understand your question. Could you re-phrase?

    Regards

    Wonderful! And your RSS feeds are already up, but there is a slight issue that you’ll eventually run into and that is the RSS feed link at the bottom of your page is prefixed with “feed:” which will not work with virutally any browser yet.

    So, for now, while you are using the “default” theme, go into the /wp-content/themes/default directory and edit the file “footer.php”. You will see a links to Entries(RSS) and Comments(RSS), the “a href” has the word “feed:” in there before the PHP code. Just remove the word entirely and that’ll save you a post later on. 🙂

    Regards

    Yeah that caused me all sorts of grief initially because I had installed WP using Fantastico on my webhost and they create a regular username for you instead of Admin. When I installed it on my new webhost, they don’t do that and I ended up with ‘admin’ as the username and I’d never remember that. 🙂

    So the fix is to just go into phpMyAdmin and change the username for your admin account from ‘admin’ to whatever you want. That’ll take care of it and you don’t have to two different users.

    Regards

    Do you have access to MySQL through your webhost? Have you created your WordPress database for it to use? Did you provide the login information in the wp-config.php file?

    Regards

    I don’t believe SK2 has anything to do with it. I have comments on my site which have apostrophe in them and I don’t have the same problem.

    Is it possibly a server config issue or PHP config issue?

    Regards
