Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Problem with two blogsFor any future reference, I suggest no one installs wordpress from the repositories. It installs the files under /usr/share/wordpress, makes a link to /etc/wordpress/wp-config.php and you’re supposed to make another link in apache.conf to make apache look for the files in /usr/share rather than the htdocs directory.
Not knowing this, I edited the linked wp-config.php and simultaneously edited all the wp-config files I had copied. It would have been much easier to download the package and extract it to where ever I want, and I wouldn’t have had any trouble in the first place. I feel sorry for making this thread and troubling you guys (and gals?). 🙂
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Problem with two blogsI fixed it. I’m no expert in this, not yet least 🙂
When I made a copy of the blog on me desktop and tried to edit the files in a graphical editor, I noticed that the wp-config-file is only a link. I’m not sure why, but when I did a copy of /usr/share/wordpress (where it was originally installed by aptitude), it copied all the other files, but made a link to /etc/wordpress/wp-config.php. Therefore all the wp-config files I copied later on were just links too. I made a new wp-config file from scratch to every blog and now it seems to be working.
Next time I’ll know to look for a link if this happens. I’m pretty new to Linux, and I’ve never seen these things before.

In reply to: Problem with two blogsThose values are different to begin with. I guess I’ll go ask if anyone at the ubuntu forums knows about this issue.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Problem with two blogsThose two don’t matter, I think. I need to get these blogs to use the wp-config.php file that is placed in their own folder, not the one that is available at /etc/wordpress. I’ve been looking around the database (and searching with ‘config’) and I can’t find a table that would help me.
