    Hi Bojan,
    I thought it was on WordPress.org but looking again it isn’t. It is a free theme developed by Tyler Moore and others here have been discussing it before. Site is still in dev and I have not used WordPress or css before so very new. Site is http://tinyurl.com/kcl-gmm. I just think if the header was larger it would be more balanced. Loving WordPress though and put this up very quickly. I’ve just removed the downloads links as not available yet.
    Cheers
    Peter

    Many thanks – I think there must be something specific to the server as I switched tack and installed a fresh install manually of WordPress on a different server and voila once I had sorted out the webserver I was able to connect to localhost and run the wp-admin/install.php so finally I have a Dashboard to work with!

    Have not been able to find out what was wrong with the original server but if I do will update in case it is of use to anyone else.

    Much kudos for helping me out – kind regards Pete

    Previously I had installed wordpress via yum but then manually installed but I had changed the wp-config.php in all locations. I have just yum remove wordpress and re-edited the config files but I am still getting the same error which is getting to be very annoying.
    Thanks

    I manually installed it at /var/www/html/wordpress and configured /etc/wordpress/wp-config.php. I chown -R apache.apache on the wordpress folder I edited the wordpress.conf in /etc/httpd/conf.d with the alias /wordpress /var/www/html/wordpress

    and I added localhost to the allowed hosts but it has made no difference – I still get the same error.

    <Directory /var/www/html/wordpress>
    AllowOverride Options
    <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
    # Apache 2.4
    Require local
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
    # Apache 2.2
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from All
    Allow from localhost 127.0.0.1
    Allow from ::1
    </IfModule>
    </Directory>

    <Directory /var/www/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/akismet>
    <FilesMatch “\.(php|txt)$”>
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from all
    </FilesMatch>
    </Directory>

    Yes – I just created a new database and user and edited the wp-config.php file to reflect the changes but still get the same error message. I checked I could login as the user on the mysql command line with no problem. Now I think it is a mysql problem but not sure where or how to debug. I do not have any anonymous users in mysql user tables – any thoughts?
    Many thanks

    Yes –
    mysql> select user, host from mysql.user where user=’wordpressuser’;
    +—————+————————-+
    | user | host |
    +—————+————————-+
    | wordpressuser | localhost |

    Also did GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO ‘wordpressuser’@’localhost’; and flush privileges; but when I do show grants; I only see the grants for root@localhost
    Also
    [root@hostname wordpress]# mysql -u wordpressuser -p
    Enter password:

    Thanks for replying I get the following generated
    Error establishing a database connection

    This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost. This could mean your host’s database server is down.

    Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
    Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
    Are you sure that the database server is running?

    I can login as the dbuser on the cmd line using mysql -u wp-user -p and can see the empty database. I can connect via simple php webform using mysql_connect(‘127.0.90.1’, ‘wp-user’, ‘password’) but not if I change host to ‘localhost’ The wp-user has permissions to connect from ‘localhost’

    /etc/hosts has 127.0.0.1 localhost entry

    Really appreciate your help as very confused – regards Pete
