In reply to: before i instal XAMPPThanks to you all my homeserver and wordpress blog is runing. I ended up having to remove mySQL and Apache thru the contr panel because i couldnt figure out how to stop the services another way, then i had to unzip it more than once till it was in the right place and closely read the instructions. but it worked. now i can make it look spiffy.

In reply to: before i instal XAMPPThanks Shekhar,
I’m attempting to run WorDpress locally by installing XAMPP. The process has been slightely different since I already had APACHE, mYsql, and FileZILLA on my computer PRETTY SMOOTH, BUT now I’m stuck. First XAMPPs control panel is not acknowledging that fileZilla is also running,and I don’t see the ‘new database field’
What now?
Thanks, jamesForum: Localhost Installs
In reply to: before i instal XAMPPlooks like neither can be uninstalled. atleast neither has a uninstall option visiblke. i guess ill install XAMPP over it

In reply to: updating Clarification neededi didn’t back anything up yet since i saw those instructions here
http://codex.wordpress.org/Backing_Up_Your_Databasei thought if i logged on to my host i could do a full backup here, but it doesn’t back up files and folders. So i guess i need to ftp all the files in addition to making this zip.
Can you suggest a reliable back up plugin perhaps, thanks?

In reply to: lost passwordShould i just try to reinstall the whole word press program?
my previous posts and such are up there anyway, how to i start over.i messed up by registering my email with a new username. so now if i ask to recieve my admin password it emails me the one for the username i just made. i did that cause it was saying it didnt recognize my admin enail i used.
i’ve tried putting wp_set_password(‘password’,1); at the top and bottom tried replacing the word password with a unique one and also left it as the word ‘password’
thanks for reading my wordy post

In reply to: lost passwordthanks I tried this earlier
Through FTP
There is also an easy way to reset your password via FTP, if you’re using the admin user.1. Login to your site via FTP and download your active theme’s functions.php file.
2. Edit the file and add this code to it, right at the beginning, after the first <?php:
wp_set_password(‘password’,1);
Put in your own new password for the main admin user. The “1” is the user ID number in the wp_users table.3. Upload the modified file back to your site.
4. After you then are able to login, make sure to go back and remove that code. It will reset your password on every page load until you do.

i think i messed up at this line “wp_set_password(‘password’,1);
Put in your own new password for the main admin user.“
i relapsed the word password in the apprstophys then tried to relogin with that passwordmaybe i’m supposed to leave the two instances of the word password
