Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Make Link option in WP freezes AppAs a WP newbie, I had the same issue as Astriker . . . and tpoulos‘ solution worked for me too. I might add that when I first tried Firefox 3.0.8, I experienced other problems (the whole text block was in HTML) until I changed the preferences to “[√] Enable JavaScript”
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Can’t select database: not able to select the ****** databaseI am getting the same error message as Raincoat; “We were able to connect to the database server (which means your username and password is okay) but not able to select the ****** database”
In my case I already have a domain name which I want to keep.
I have downloaded the wp file, modified the wp-config.php file per instructions.
My host is Profitgate.net who I have used for over 10 years, but I have an ‘el cheapo’ plan with no tech support. I navigated the cpanel easily, found the MySQl and entered the database name, username and password. MySQL appended the database name and password.
Since I had an existing website, I found the public_html folder, emptied it and uploaded the WordPress files.
I got an email from profitgate telling me that WordPress has been installed, but when I try the Admin URL: http://@@@@@@@@.com/WordPress/wp-admin/ I get the error message described above.Any suggestions?
