In reply to: Starting over: will database be overwritten?80% has been reposted. I saved the website, so I could just copy paste the entries. Thanx everyone for the support.
Lesson 1: WP does indeed not overwrite an existing database.
Lesson 2: do not upload an existing WP database when the WP you’re replacing was in a subfolder (or in both the root and the subfolder) and the new one is only in the root.Those were I think the lessons learned, if I grasp what went wrong.

In reply to: Starting over: will database be overwritten?Yup… seems I’ll have to repost. When I upload my back up database the site is there, but the dashboard is gone.

In reply to: Starting over: will database be overwritten?Good luck I’ll need! :-O
In the worst case I’ll have to repost a lot of stuff. It’ll cost me an evening, that’s it.

In reply to: Starting over: will database be overwritten?The site works (at least I hope it works for everyone!). Did you see anything wrong with it?
I have to upgrade to the latest version for the security issues.
When I started with WP, I installed wordpress in a subfolder called /weblog, and not in the root. I then moved the site to the root. What I did not succeed in though was correctly placing the wordpress files in the root directory. The files are now both in the root and the /weblog and the admin, includes and content folder are still in the /weblog. The site works miracliously, but the installation was not as it should be. Now the upgrade won’t work.
I did read the instructions for moving to the root, but I don’t really grasp it I guess.
Anyway: starting over sounds quite interesting now!

In reply to: 2.0.2 Is outI encountered the same problem as shakemusic. Since the initial installation of WP was more luck than knowledge (I have the wordpress files in both the root and my /weblog folder and deleting any single file completely screws everything up), that scared the **** out of me! :-0 So I put back the old files and I’ll try again later.
