Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Reinstall but can’t?Thanks again jeremyclark13.. going out on a limb… Jeremy 🙂 I am in my hosting admin panel and there is nothing that looks like db management. I am going to get on the phone.
Thanks
It’s kind of fun to totally trash a site. I’m learning what “knowing enough to be dangerous” is all about.

In reply to: Reinstall but can’t?Thanks jeremyclark13 and whooami.
My next question is then about uninstalling it so that I can reinstall it. I know nothing about dbs and MySQL and I dont see any file in my ftp that looks like a data file. I am looking through ftp because, as I said before, I cant pull up any admin panels in my browser because of the page not found errors so I have pretty much tanked the site.
Talk to me like I am your mother… Grandmother? The cute blond HR girl whos ignorance you tollerate because she’s got a nice personality?… If it’s too complicated, tell me to call my hosting company and have them wipe the drive so I can reinstall it.

In reply to: Reinstall but can’t?Hi Folks, I just joined because I am having a similar problem to Ricky.
I had WordPress installed on a site but stopped using it last year. I needed to redesign the site and put the blog in a subdirectory so I reinstalled the software yesterday.
I have also forgotten all my old login info.
When I go to wp-install it tells me there an older version and to clear my database(s). I dont know how to do that and it keeps giving me page not found errors when I try to login but I can see the pages I am trying to call are physically there with my ftp.
I realize this damage is my own creation so lets keep any further smart comments to a minimum and try to include something helpful for Ricky and myself.
How do I A. clear my database or B. completely uninstall so that I can start from scratch?
Thanks for any help.
