In reply to: Adding WordPress to an existant siteHello rhovisions,
If you utilize .htaccess, you can just create a rewrite to direct all url requests to the blog sub directory. An example of this would be:
# Rewrite rule for primarydomain.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?primarydomain\.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/subdirectory
Rewriterule ^(.*)$ /maindomain/$1 [L][signature moderated Please read the Forum Rules]

In reply to: Auto post content from one blog to another blogHello,
Just found this article, which might be useful to you:
http://www.labnol.org/internet/blogging/post-blog-entries-to-multiple-blogging-platforms/4943/
I would suggest using the import/export features of wordpress to migrate posts from one blog to the other. If you plan on having the same blog posts on both blogs, why not point both domain names to the same blog? or have both blog sites utilize the same mysql blog database.

In reply to: can´t upload images from my pcHello,
Make sure that the directories are setup and that the parent directory wp-content has the proper write permissions. Make sure that the write permissions are applied recursively to the child directories as well. You can configure file permissions directly on the server or by using an FTP client.

In reply to: Problem with WordPress hosting?Hello,
Check your wp-config.php file which is located within your wordpress directory. Make sure that the mysql database connection info within this script is correct. If you do not know what your connection info should be, I suggest that you contact your hosting provider.

In reply to: Url keeps going to a parent directoryHello,
Make sure that mod rewrite is enabled on your account as the default .htaccess file that wordpress starts with redirects http requests to your index.php file. Otherwise, you can just set your default document to index.php for your site.

In reply to: Problem with wp-config (I think)Hello,
You’ll have to adjust your home and site urls to reflect your webroot in contrary to the subdomain. If you have mysql or phpmyadmin access you can run the following:
update wp_options set option_value = ‘http://mysite.net’ where option_name = ‘home’ or option_name = ’siteurl’;

In reply to: WP in root dir, Will it play nice with phpbb in a folder?Hello,
If you install phpbb within a sub-directory there shouldn’t be a problem. WordPress by default is setup with a prefix on the mysql database so the phpbb install should not conflict. You can also look into wordpress forum plugins.

In reply to: Help – Need to work on site before going live!Hello,
You can just update the site and home urls to the IP address by using this query on your mysql database on the new server.
update wp_options set option_value = ‘http://insert_ipaddress_here’ where option_name = ‘home’ or option_name = ’siteurl’;
Once you perform the above, you will then be able to access the wp-admin panel using the IP address on the new server. You can then make your adjustments and run the query again to set it back to your domain name when you are ready to point dns over.

In reply to: Changed Windows to Linux. Need to reinstall WordPress???Hello,
What’s the error you are getting when you attempt to upload a image or plugin? check the following on your sites php.ini file to ensure that your blog is configured to allow you to upload:
1) make sure that file_uploads is set to ‘On’
2) ensure that your upload temp directory is setup with a correct path. The directive looks like this ‘upload_tmp_dir =’
(on your wp-admin panel, make sure that you upload path is setup properly, by default it should set to ‘wp-content/uploads’ which can be found within “Settings” > “Miscellaneous”.[signature moderated Please read the Forum Rules]

In reply to: problem while moving to new hostHello,
Could be related to php setting differences between the servers. I would suggest looking at your php settings on cPanel and ensuring that new server is setup similarly. Two things to look out for would be safe mode setting and php memory settings.

In reply to: WordPress already installedHello,
Double check to ensure that your database is empty. If it’s empty and you’re still unable to run the installation, try dropping and re-creating the database and attempt to run the install.php script once again. Since you have server access, you can try creating a new database altogether.

In reply to: Installing New on IIS-6 (2.8-iis)Hello,
Do you have php installed? are you able to access other php scripts via web browser? If you need to install php on your windows server you can follow this support document:
http://www.hostmysite.com/support/dedicated/general/installphp/
If you do not have server access, I would suggest contacting your hosting company to see if php is supported on the server that your blog is hosted on. Let me know if you have any further questions.

In reply to: Browser downloads install.php instead of serving itHello Locustfist,
Are you able to access any other php pages besides ‘install.php’? sounds like php isn’t parsing correctly on your server. I would advise you to ensure that php is installed correctly.

In reply to: Improper redirect after install.Hello,
At the moment, I get a 404 error when I attempt to access http://www.stevenmbooth.com/wordpress so I am assuming that you went ahead and removed the wordpress installation.
I would suggest cleaning out your account of all wordpress files, and attempt the install again. Instead of browsing to ‘www.stevenmbooth.com/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php’ after uploading the files, try browsing to ‘www.stevenmbooth.com/wordpress/’ instead as it should auto redirect you to the installation script. Run the installation and see if you still receiving the ‘501 error.’
Also, you can always adjust your home and site urls through mysql/phpmyadmin to ‘http://stevenmbooth.com/wordpress/’ by running the following query:
update wp_options set option_value = ‘http://stevenmbooth.com/wordpress/’ where option_name = ‘home’ or option_name = ’siteurl’;
Let me know if you are still having difficulties.
