    Well, thanks to a power company induced server failure I cannot say which move corrected this problem.

    After doing a rebuild on the new hard drive everything seems to be working just fine. As I had to rebuild from scratch and backups I have no idea what the original problem was.

    Never the less I am going to mark this one as resolved.

    Yes, upon further examination it looks like its usefulness is far in the past. I think I loaded it way back when it did have a function.

    Thats what I get for waiting so long to upgrade. I am going to call this one solved and thank you for your assistance!

    The nag is “You have not cleaned up the files from the last upgrade. Please click here to cleanup the files and disable this nag.”

    As you may guess the plugin which makes this go away is “WordPress Automatic Upgrade.”

    Actually I got fed up and did a manual update.

    Now the Nag about cleaning up will not go away! The Codex section on updates says to remove the .maintenance file. I can find no such file!

    So what is the Nag looking at?

    Thanks for the tip Shane, problem is that I am self hosted. Something had to turn of the PHPMail() function that I do not know about.

    I have loaded the wp-email plug-in and will try that. Next I am headed over to Axigen if that does not work.

    Finally found it. If you load Webmin 1.500 the MySQL manager has a tab to change the Admin password for MySQL. It works and does not make typos.

    Call this closed and a good tip!

    Have to get familiar with it as I am self hosted.

    Some Admin type mark this as closed. I am going to rebuild from scratch.

    Thought of that, the database name is the same and hostname is localhost.

    Anybody have thoughts about a fresh and then import the mysql backup via webmin? I am afraid I would loose a ton of content.

    Rolling my own straight from the Red Hat repositories. Do the same with Fedora (X) and have no problems.

    Just would hate to take my wife’s business applications o=ff of a stable platform like Red Hat. I may look into xampp if research shows that might be the answer.

    You have any experience with the xampp package?

    Got lazy with the ctrl+a songdogtech. I have redone all the passwords and retyped the install.php fields and nothing changed.

    I can get into MySQL from Webmin for remote admin.

    I even tried making the user root using the root password.

    I am beginning to think is has to be something with Red Hat. I checked and my setup as far as I can tell is identical with my Fedora 10 system which has a site up and running.

    I am baffled to say the least.

    Thanks songdogtech, did as you suggested and have now proceeded to another problem.

    Now the message is:(pasting in the view source)

    <p>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.</p>

    • 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?

    <p>If you’re unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.</p>

    MySQL is running and the database name, username and password are correct in the config file. Scratches head and mumbles.
