In reply to: Upload imageSounds like you’re using a IIS server. WordPress does not run easily on a IIS server. (The fact that you actually got it installed on IIS means kudos to you!) You’re probably going to have to troubleshoot this one on your own – WordPress runs best on a *nix server running Apache and PHP. Although you *can* install WordPress (and have it work) on IIS, you run into issues like this. This sounds like a “permissions” thing with the server. it’s definitely not a WP thing – I remember once when I installed WP in a IIS server I ran into this a lot, and it was how the host had the server set up, and something to do with the configuration of ownership, etc. (Don’t ask me details, it was a while ago and I cannot remember. probably forgot because of the trauma.)
Your best bet would probably be to ask for a swap from IIS to Linux/Unix, or find a new host. Because believe me, unless someone comes along who really knows IIS and knows how to fix this (which I do not, and I am not, so I hope for you), then you’re probably on your own.

In reply to: InstallationYou cannot just rename the sample config file, upload it and expect it to magically figure out your settings. You must *open* the file in a plain text editor, and supply the database connection information where it is requested. Then save the file as wp-config.php and upload to your server. WordPress does not create your database for you, and it won’t detect your database configuration and instantly put it in for you. You have to do that yourself.

In reply to: Permalinks, .htaccess, and error 500“666” would be the wrong persmissions setting to make the file writeable (as designated by your host). Some hosts *will* allow 666 to work, but many force you to use 777 or 766.
Your safest bet would be to just copy the code that’s spit out and paste it into your .htaccess file and upload it.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Problem with Permalinkif 766 doesn’t work, use 777 on your .htaccess file. Redo your permalinks settings. the change shoudl take. If it does, change the .htaccess permissiosn BACK to 644. (DON’T leave it at 777!)
Alternatively, just copy the gunk that shows up and paste it into your .htaccess file and upload it. (thats’ the safer method.)

In reply to: Blog does not show up in search enginesGoogle does not index immediately. You’re going to have to have patience. Just because you changed the privacy settings doesn’t mean you’re going to show up in Google immediately. You have to wait for Google to come back to your site and index it. That could be anywhere between 1 day to 1 month (or more).

In reply to: Broken dashboard and theme not workingOkay, I think you’re jumping ahead here.
So in March, you had WP 2.5. You made a file backup of ALL files on the server, and a DB backup of everything in the database. Your hosting went down, and when you brought it back up, you uploaded the backup files and imported the DB backup to the new host.
In your OP, you say at this point, the backup didn’t work. Why? What happened? What wasn’t working?
I think if the *backup* wasn’t working (for version 2.5) and you tried to upgrade a non-working site, you may have messed things up so they *can’t* be repaired. If it were me, I’d remove everything and start over with the original backup. Drop the database, clear out all the files, and start over. Upload the old backed up files from 2.5 and import the old database. Get THAT to work. THEN upgrade.

In reply to: Mail sending limit?Contact Form 7 possibility (have you contacted the plugin author?)
You dont’ say what plugins you’re using or what your settings are.
Have you contacted your host to see if the mail function on your server is working properly, or have you tested outside of WP to see if mailing from your website works? You’re not providing a lot of information here.

In reply to: newbirddesign(dot)com/blog – cant get my jquery or flash to show upyour problem is your relative paths. Relative paths don’t work well on a dynamic site.
If your files are within your theme files, then use
<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>which will supply the path to the theme directory. You can supply the rest of the path from there if you need to. If your files are outside of the themes directory, then you need to use<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>which will supply the URL to the top level of the site, and again you can supply the rest of the path from there.
