In reply to: Enabling Sending Referrers.Good call!
Sorry we couldn’t help you get that one going though – I have no idea at all what the problem might be, unless there’s something really odd about the way they setup their hosting accounts.

In reply to: Enabling Sending Referrers.just kidding 🙂 sort of….
Try that other thing i suggested earlier – backup your wordpress folder, then delete the
/wp-includeand/wp-adminfolders, delete thewp-settings.phpfile, then re-upload them from the original WordPress file. Let us know if it worksForum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Enabling Sending Referrers.macmanx: thanks 🙂 mostly luck though, i was really dredging the ram here to come up with that.
jose: i recommend a new host
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Enabling Sending Referrers.It was last-ditch, y’know 😉 My next recommendation was going to be finding a new host 🙂 I don’t deal with Linux much these days (too many clients using Winblows), but I have read stuff about htaccess messing with things in weird ways under certain configurations. Figured it certainly wouldn’t hurt to try bypassing it 🙂
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Enabling Sending Referrers.Spiffy 😀
Your host has “Virtual Directory Support” set to disabled. Normally, this wouldn’t be a problem (at least, it isn’t supposed to be), but somewhere in the chain it does occasionally goof things up.
I have no idea why it would be rewriting what you enter into the database though…. that’s a little weird even by my experience.
Glad it worked for you 🙂 Hope it works for Jose too, and I do have a paypal account, but I ain’t telling you what it is 😉 But thanks anyways 😀

In reply to: Enabling Sending Referrers.no, i meant log in and out of phpmyadmin – check it there before blaming WP for it 😉
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Enabling Sending Referrers.hmmmmmm…. two more things (both quick and easy to try)
1) in phpMyAdmin, when you enter your address into
siteurl, escape the slash characters with backslashes (http:\/\/mydomain.com) – that might force the issue. can’t break it any worse than it is already *shrug* Then try it with two backslashes if it doesn’t work –http:\\/\\/mydomain.com2) delete or rename the
.htaccessfile and try to make it work (do the phpmyadmin thing immediately beforehand though, so WP doesn’t have a chance to mess with it)Jose, the 2nd option above might work for you too.
And if not, nothing lost but the minute or two it’ll take 😉

In reply to: Enabling Sending Referrers.Amiantos, after you put the proper value in with phpmyadmin, logout of it, then back in, and see if it’s still set properly.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Enabling Sending Referrers.Amiantos, you’re using PHPMyAdmin to admin your database, yes? Or something like it? Or are you using a command-line tool or application?

In reply to: Enabling Sending Referrers.and it keeps resetting
siteurlto “http:” instead of keeping the real URL?make the change again, but query the table afterwards (before going back into WP) to make sure the new value is actually in there…
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Enabling Sending Referrers.In the
wp_optionstable, set bothhomeandsiteurlare identical, and thatfileupload_realpathis accurate.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Enabling Sending Referrers.That sounds like it might be. I was sitting here trying to think of a way you could safely delete all the records in that table and have them reset to the defaults….
Of course, now I realize I could just dump the SQL from that test database for you 🙂
But if it’s being reset each time, that might not do much…
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Enabling Sending Referrers.Sounds like it’s probably a server issue then. That test blog here is on Apache 2 with PHP 5 and MySQL 4.1. Some of the other blogs I host are under IIS with PHP4 and MySQL 4.0 (I was young and stupid, what can I say – besides, WP1.2 doesn’t like PHP5, and I don’t like forcing PHP4 to cooperate with MySQL 4.1).
OK, last steps before you call your hosts and find out why this happens:
Route 1
——–
1) backup your WordPress installation to your hard drive
2) delete the/wp-adminand/wp-includesfolders
3) in the root folder, delete thewp-settings.phpfile
4) upload all those files/folders from an original WordPress installation archive (use the same version that was there before)
5) testRoute 2
——–
(only for extreme rebuilding)1) backup your WordPress installation to your hard drive
2) backup your database
3) delete EVERYTHING in your wordpress folder except/wp-config.php
4) upload WordPress from the original files available on the site here, preferably the same version you were using before
5) test itRoute 3
——–
(because sometimes you just need a fresh database)1) backup WordPress and your database
2) if possible, create a brand-new database, and upload WordPress to a brand-new folder
2a) if not, then delete both completely, then create a new database and new WordPress folder
3) upload and install WordPress
4) testGood luck 🙂

In reply to: Enabling Sending Referrers.Jose hasn’t been able to activate any plugins at all, so none are running on his installation. Last time I checked, though, StatTraq didn’t get along with WP1.5, which is why I suggested Amiantos disable all his – just in case 😉
