Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Trouble installing wordpress-3.5.1Your user name is only two letters; that seems short to me. Are you sure that is correct?
And make sure you ADD the user to the database (from within cPanel). You have to actually add it. Sometimes people forget that just creating both is not enough.

In reply to: Trouble installing wordpress-3.5.1Yes. But did you also create a user and ADD that user to the newly created database?
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Trouble installing wordpress-3.5.1Did you create an actual database? You do this by visiting your web hosts control panel. AND don’t forget you should add a user (with a password) to that database. It does no good to create a database and forget to add a user. (I do this ALL the time!)

In reply to: HTML Site To Word Press Conversion ? On LinksAh crap. I am too late to this post. I was going to mention using 301 redirects in your site root’s .htaccess file will gently move web crawlers and humans who have your old static site bookmarked to the new dynamically generated pages.
Read about that here. This is our standard practice when doing a site redesign from a static HTML site to a CMS, or from one CMS to another if there is significant page structure changes:

In reply to: wp-login.php 404 errorShould this be a sticky somewhere? There have been tons of questions about that in the last day or so. 🙂

In reply to: Creating WP Website for Existing Domain question!!When you mean “when I first register,” do you mean setting up the WP install via Fantastico in cPanel? If that is the case, the dropdown will list any available domains or subdomains where you can install WP. But generally if there is already something there, if the Fantastico installer detects an index.html or index.php file there, it will stop dead in its tracks and refuse to install.
The “web site name” is just the name you want to call your site. If you want to preserve any good rankings your current site has, if it is a high traffic site or has been around awhile, you might want to consider developing in a subdirectory, as was suggested, preparing 301 redirects from the old site pages to the new, and then moving the WP site to the site root once you are satisfied with it and have all your content in place.
Read more about the advisability of 301 redirects here:

In reply to: can´t run the install.phpTry reuploading the file it’s complaining about. Although I’ve never seen an error like this being due to file upload failure, it could happen.

In reply to: I can not enter in my wp-admin area or loginDue to the recent brute force attacks on WordPress sites, some web hosts are disabling the wp-login.php file temporarily.

In reply to: WordPress Login IssueCheck with your web host; due to the recent brute force attacks on WordPress sites, some web hosts are disabling the wp-login.php file temporarily. This might cause that behavior.

In reply to: Subdomain instulationWhen you set up the subdomain, Apache created a folder called whatever you called that subdomain (e.g., if you created a subdomain called “foo,” then there should be a folder right under public_html called /foo). There shouldn’t be anything in it other than a cgi-bin folder and possibly an index.php or index.html placeholder page, if even that. BlueHost is just warning you that it is placing files in that subdirectory/folder and that it will possibly overwrite anything that is there. cPanel usually refuses to install if there is an index.php file in place; you have to go in and delete it before proceeding. HTH

In reply to: Offline?localhost? Try out Steve Carroll’s Serverpress program. It’s a lot easier than trying to set up a WAMP or MAMP environment.

In reply to: A few querstions about functionality…The first bit sounds like custom programming. Why would you want this? I understand WordPress is the target of massive brute force login attempts right now, but still. Do you want to tie the front page login screen with both the WP site and a forum? There are bridge programs that most forums use to share users between programs. I suggest BBPress or BuddyPress as a means to integrate a forum with WP and share users across both.
