Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: After the install "Success" message, wp-home page won't open?Thanks for the reply Govpatel.
Let me break up your questions, to be sure i understand the issues that are involved.a). tryng install on online host.
b). not on your computer.Are you saying there are two separate ways to install/setup/operate the wp-web site?
#1. Install onto the online server. (FTP)?
#2. Set up/Install onto my Computer. (SQL)?(i can see my host in the stars of the milkyway already).
I had the option whether to choose the Linux server, or Windows server (and i can still change it by request).
I chose the Windows server, because i thought that would be easier to setup.
Because i have always used Windows OS.Q1. Correct me i am wrong on the above point?
Q2. Of the above two set up/Install, which of the two is more complicated/trouble free?
Q3. If more familiar with Windows OS, than the Linux OS, is it very difficult to set up using the Linux OS on the Web host server?

I had a look at the codex.wordpress/trouble shoot/wp-installation page.
It is like looking at phone book-Yellow pages in a foreign country, it hurts.
I would rather follow a known path, and not start a new one through a jungle. I know there must be someone out there that knows the path in/out.
Question:
What do i need to do with MySQL re: WordPress site?
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: After the install "Success" message, wp-home page won't open?With the web site service that i have ordered from my Web host, there is a MySQL included. But no control panel.
I hope i did not mislead you into thinking that there was no MySQL provided with the web service?
Does that change anything?

I have read it several times, i don’t have the source at hand, but it was not about wordpress, but rather about creating the html for entire web site, a very basic tool for creating a web site.You mentioned My SQL database, can you tell me more.
E.g. What do i have to do with MySQL, in regard to the wp-3.1?
Can you tell if i have to connect to my server (with MySQL), and then open the wp-data from there, or do i have to install the wp-files into MySQL, or what is it exactly that the MySQL is used for re: Starting up a WordPress web site?Forum: Installing WordPress

I read somewhere that it is possible to create a web site with using a “notepad”? A Notepad! Hollie Mollie! That would put Adobe out of business, if we could build web sites with a note pad, (a notepad?), a freaking notepad for building a web site????

No i don’t want more programs, what i do need is to learn how to use the programs that i already have on my computer.
The Word Press 5 minute Install instructions only mentions a very few services/programs needed:
#1. Internet connection.
#2. Computer with OS.
#3. WordPad/IZarc or equivalent to Unzip/expand wp-files.
#4. FTP program, e.g. FileZip to upload the wp-files to a host server.
#5. MySQL Desktop/ equivalent.My computer slows down with too many programs, i am getting tired of too many programs that clutter it’s performance, the adage “less is more”, works with computer performance also.

“After the install “Success” message, wp-home page won’t open”?Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: After the install "Success" message, wp-home page won't open?Hi ! govpatel.
Yes i did create the data base (added MySQL DB-details), and yes it has been uploaded to the server.Re:
“if the install program can connect to database only then you will get to a page to install the tables required in database”.Govpatel, i believe wp-3.1 has installed, because there was the “Success” message:
“Success!
WordPress has been installed. Were you expecting more steps? Sorry to disappoint.
Username _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Password (Your chosen password).Log In (Radio Button)”.
But from there it won’t go any further?
Maybe as apljdi noted, that i need to use a MySQL. I do have it on my computer, and it has connected to the server, what do i need to do next to start up the Wp-web site?

“What I am suggesting is that you delete the database tables that have already been created and try again”.
I did create a New Server Instance with the MySQL,and it did connect to the server o.k, but not sure where to go from there?
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: After the install "Success" message, wp-home page won't open?Hi ! apljdi. Thanks for the reply.
Yes i did make changes to the wp-config-sample file; MySQL-Db content, and then changed the name to; wp-config.php.
My web host does have a C-panel only, but the MySQL database facility is not available.
But i do have a MySQL Workbench on my computer, can i use that?
I have not created any posts with this particular #2 site, in fact i have not even seen it unwrap.
Q. Data base tables? what data base tables? The only data that i have uploaded to my host server is the downloaded wp-3.1, and made the neccesary changes to the MySQL-DB.
I used FileZip to upload the wp-files, and a IZarc to extract the download, and edit to edit the config.php file.

In reply to: After the install "Success" message, wp-home page won't open?Hi ! apljdi.
Just to be sure that i understand what you mean, i’ll break up your question/answer:
a). have i tried with a clean database.
b). sound like there is no content in database.
c). so just delete all of the tables and try fresh.Q1. The database wp-config-sample, had changes made to the MySQL data base.
Q2. “Content” what content?Q3. Delete all of the tables, what “tables”.

In reply to: ProblemsHi ! you are not alone. With my previous wp-blog, after installing it, and getting it up onto the web i was adding a single picture per blog entry, everthing was working fine.
Then one day i added a plug in; “The Ultimate Analytics”, after that, each time i did a blog entry and tried to attach a picture, i could not. There was always a long string of “something”, put no picture?
So, if it of any help to you, i had a similar change with the blog page. Since then with the blog, i have only been able to add a link to the picture.
