In reply to: using MAMP to run word press on my mac.Thank jjaschang,
I did change the database name in the config file to match the database. same problem. I will recheck everything and try again being mindful of your database naming advice.

In reply to: Datbase imported, but not seeing content.Problem resolved, by the support staff at 1&1 in the Philipines. Something about duplicate files in the DB. In my glee I forgot to ask for what the specific changes were, will be kicking myself for a while over that. But the site is up and running now. 🙂

In reply to: Datbase imported, but not seeing content.LOL…They are ok, very responsive on calls and helpful. But I was thinking this might be a word press related problem.

In reply to: Datbase imported, but not seeing content.Catacaustic,
On a MySQL database creation at 1&1 they give a database name in the format db1234567. We can provide a description but not change the name. The host name is that db number followed by a .db.1&1.com. The domain name is set set elsewhere.
I personally deleted all other MySQL database listings. There is only one, and I have used correct database name, user name, and host name in the config file. I have checked and rechecked those numbers, and uploaded the correct wp-config.php file to the correct destination. It just doesn’t make sense. Guess I will have to get the host back on the line….and have them go through my files.

In reply to: Datbase imported, but not seeing content.Seacoast,
yes I meant the MySQL DB file exported from the old host. Modified the database name and the “use” references. I deleted the create a new database line.
I modified the wp-config.php files:
DB_name (to where the worpdpress files reside)
SQL DB password
MySQL hostnameall were pointing to the old host.

In reply to: Datbase imported, but not seeing content.Hi Catacaustic,
I have reduced all to one database…and the DNS is pointing to the right location, config files modified to reference that DB. database. This thought just occurred… There was a zen cart dedicated database with the old site. As I am ditching Zen cart I did not import that, but the site files have been moved to the new host lock stock and barrel, could that be the issue.
Another thing that has me suspicious is the format for this:
phpMyAdmin SQL Dump
— version 3.3.10.4
— http://www.phpmyadmin.net
—
— Host: xxxxxxxxxxx
— Generation Time: Feb 04, 2013 at 05:14 PM
— Server version: 5.1.53
— PHP Version: 5.2.17What should that host name format look like? I have the database number as x as follows. “xxxxxx.db.1and1.com”

In reply to: Datbase imported, but not seeing content.Hi Seacoast Web Design member…
Thanks,
We are long pat the promulgation period. DNS is set up, for over a week. Site files upload too, yesterday I got the SQL database from the old host/webmaster and had trouble getting it imported. That problem is resolved. But still, I get only the sample page. I have poured over the config file, discussed it with the host, all seems in order…but I expect I have missed something in the config and sql file modifications….just not sure what, if that.
