In reply to: Import from Typepad-Can It Be Done?Yes, it is slick as a whistle. Export from TP and follow the excellent instructions in the codex. ONE caveat. DO NOT think you can call your exported file anything other than “import.txt”. Don’t get fancy. It won’t work.
Yippee!!!!

In reply to: config.php not found but it is – word press already installedOk, if you use nearlyfreespeech.net as your host, the database is the database name and the localhost is your Sql process name. Install is working now!!!!

In reply to: config.php not found but it is – word press already installedYes. I created the database and the process. when WP talks about the Mysql database, does it mean the process (.db) or the database? I’ve tried defining both in the config.php but neither work. I’m not sure what the localhost name is and have emailed my host.

In reply to: config.php not found but it is – word press already installedsaw your other message and edited wp-db.php and now have
Error establishing a database connection
This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost. This could mean your host’s database server is down.
* Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
* Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
* Are you sure that the database server is running?I’m sure about the running server, username and pwd, but hostname, not sure…
thanks so far!

In reply to: config.php not found but it is – word press already installedthe same error in the thread below – the
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_bloginfo() in /nfsn/content/travelblog/htdocs/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 304I’ve re-installed; deleted the mysql database and re-created it – I don’t know what it is.
Do you reference the process (DNS name) in the config file or the database name? I’ve tried both and still get the error.f
From my host (NearlyFreeSpeech.net)
A MySQL process or MySQL server (or even MySQL server process) refers to the actual running MySQL software.A MySQL database, on the other hand, is a collection of related tables within a MySQL process that share a common purpose, like running a forum or blog application.
A MySQL process may contain more than one MySQL database. (If it doesn’t have at least one, it isn’t very useful.)
MySQL processes are identified by their DSN or hostname. You chose this when you created the MySQL process, and you can see it on your MySQL Process panel in the user interface.
And then there are those of us who put the definitions in the wrong place in the config file. Just wanted to add this incase someone else did the same thing.
I put the database name where it says DB_NAME instead of database_name.
Just a thought.
STill isn’t working for me though – same fatal error…
