I can log in and load the site with full themes and colors. Thus ends my first 4 hour WordPress crisis 🙂 Cypher, when you mentioned it earlier, I thought you meant the wp-config.php file…thats why entering the DNS name for DB_HOST only created a new problem with MySQL. Thanks for your help and patience. * Vuv * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [No themes!!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-themes-2/) * Thread Starter [vuv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vuv/) * (@vuv) * [20 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-themes-2/#post-342539) * Okay.. * I’ve confirmed with mysql using the command above and all is well. I’ve changed the DB_HOST back to “localhost” and now I’m back to the beginning. I can load index.php just fine (but it’s all text, as if I were using the Lynx browser)… but when I try to login I get a message saying “cannot find server or dns error”. Firefox says it can’t establish a connection (an error code would be helpful at this point). Same problem even when I try it via the local LAN. I’m back to thinking my issue is with Apache…but I’m relatively new at this and don’t know enough to know for sure. Thanks * Vuv * *****EDIT****** I just noticed something. When accessing WordPress via the LAN, I can load index.php (text only) but the link to the login page points to “[http://localhost/wp-login.php”](http://localhost/wp-login.php”);. Why does index.php think that wp-login.php is on the local machine when I do things remotely? * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [No themes!!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-themes-2/) * Thread Starter [vuv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vuv/) * (@vuv) * [20 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-themes-2/#post-342527) * Thanks Cypher. * I changed “localhost” to the DNS name and then got an error about not being able to connect to the database. Is this an issue with MySQL or is my problem related to something else? I’ve changed the MySQL login to the root account temporarily… I assume this isn’t a good thing to hvae or the long run… * Vuv * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [No themes!!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-themes-2/) * Thread Starter [vuv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vuv/) * (@vuv) * [20 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-themes-2/#post-342500) * XP Pro.
