In reply to: my php doesn’t find mysqlIn other words, how do I clear my old database tables?
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: my php doesn’t find mysqlI am assuming that somewhere something has to be written to the database, so that some directory somewhere must have its rights changed. ??
Having gone as far as “Already Installed You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first.” What next?Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: my php doesn’t find mysqlOkay, I have got one step further. I actually managed to start the installation. Bad I was wondering about whether any folders needed extra rights, such as writing. Looks like it, as I got some kind of brief error message. So I changed the writes on that specific directory and tried again. But of course you can’t try again, now I read I have to empty the database, wherever that may be.

The installation was supposed to take 5 minutes but it took me about 5 days. After a lot of arguing with my web host and trying the same thing over and over again…. it worked! I think..”

In reply to: my php doesn’t find mysqlThe blurd reads: “WordPress is a state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability.” It doesn’t say you have to be PHP and MySQL savvy 🙁

Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: my php doesn’t find mysqlI have just done the famous 5 minute install to my ISP’s system. But of course WordPress announces it cannot find MySQL. It says: “Error establishing a database connection.” I’m not surprised, I know nothing about MySql and there’s apparently nothing in the docs. I am a non-nerd uploading it to my ISP… how and what am I supposed to know about MySQL?
