In reply to: Uploader doesn’t actually upload file, but thinks it doesI ended up playing around with Permissions – I had already opened up wp-cont – but that did the trick.

In reply to: Image Uploading Does Not Work? 2.7Well working now, played around with Permissions – wp-content / index etc. – so all seems to be working; just looking for a neat pop-up image (click on image in a post and pops up in a new window with close button) plugin? Anybody have any ideas – not looking for a gallery solution though. Thanks.

In reply to: Uploaded images have no preview & cannot be seen?Seems like there are a few of us having image uploading problems, like Kivi: ‘Uploader doesn’t actually upload file, but thinks it does’. If anyone has some advice very gratefully received. Thanks.

In reply to: Unable to select the databaseToo right! On the case. With my other host totalwebsolutions.com (uk) to set up WP on http://www.stengard-green.com was a 5 minute job and great technical support to correct one error on my part. Easy, unlike easily.co.uk; the ‘UKs friendlyist (sic) host’. Thanks again to everyone who contributed / commented. Sorry to waste your time. Cheers. Nigel

In reply to: Unable to select the databaseHi again, thanks for all the tips, finally got the host to look into this andwas a problem their end …. however they do not support mySQL 4 so a dead end it looks like even if I dump 2.7 and go back a few steps!

In reply to: Unable to select the databaseThanks guys. You are right the DB_NAME has no prefix or suffix it is the username and only the username. But when I use that in WP-config.php I get:
“Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wp_remote_post() in /customersites/3/home/httpd/vhosts/theseasonallunchbox.com/httpdocs/blog/wp-includes/cron.php on line 201”
Whereas when I used the other settings at least I got a WP response which to my simple logic is a better error message than this new one; but I have a horrible feeling I am being very dumb here but the hosts contradict themselves and really give no help even on setting up a database let alone WP where the advice has been try Yahoo or Google.

In reply to: Unable to select the databaseThanks. Did try without connect string and got the same message? Cheers.

In reply to: Unable to select the databaseHi, Thanks for the tips Figaro, MH and Otto however HOST is set correctly, DB_NAME is the name of the DB I created – prefixed by location of DB – database username and password as supplied by Easily (same as I use to log into phpMyAdmin) but still get this. Probably a simple error but where to start. Sent this info to host but they say ‘we don’t do code’ but suggested I put the following into config; but where? Thanks again, here is the suggested code:
%
ConnString =
“Driver={MySQL};SERVER=localhost;DATABASE=dbname;UID=xxx;PWD=yyy”
Set conn = Server.CreateObject(“ADODB.Connection”)
conn.Open ConnString
%
The only things the user has to change are the dbname(ftp username),
UID(ftp username) and PWD(ftp password).Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Unable to select the databaseThanks! Had this from the host but not sure what to do with it and have not said to change local host. I don’t get involved with databases so all of this is pretty meaningless to me!:
QUOTE: Although we do not offer coding support, below is an ASP string which connects with the MySQL database in a “dsn-less” fashion:

ConnString =
“Driver={MySQL};SERVER=localhost;DATABASE=dbname;UID=xxx;PWD=yyy”
Set conn = Server.CreateObject(“ADODB.Connection”)
conn.Open ConnString
