Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: re-installation problemsyour defensiveness isnt necessary — im merely reiterating what was said above about the doublechecking, triplechecking..
what its telling you is accurate, thats all im trying to stress.
if you want to test your settings here is a copy and paste off any of a 1000 websites that explain how to make php talk to mysql:
<?php $dbhost = 'localhost'; //edit as needed $dbuser = 'username'; //edit .. $dbpass = 'password'; //edit .. $conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die ('Error connecting to mysql'); $dbname = 'dbname'; //edit this too ... mysql_select_db($dbname); ?>create a new test.php file and use the values that you have in your wp-config.php for the edits above. upload it to your site and load it in a browser.
yes, go back, and edit your posts — thats all you can do really.

In reply to: re-installation problemslisten closely, if you get this error message:
“Error establishing a database connection”
then youre not connecting to the db.
end of conversation.
wordpress does NOT lie when it comes to spiiting out db messages.

In reply to: folders don’t existum, I think maybe my problem is that I don’t have mod_rewrite on my server. Assuming that I can’t get it installed, what’s the easiest workaround?
Think I do need an .htaccess file though for permalinks – if I call http://www.mywebsite.com/about/ in my browser and nothing is in that dir, then there’s nothing to do any redirection for me…
before we can answer that question, you need to indicate what sort of hosting set up you have
windows or not?
.htaccess files arent used on IIS hosts, for example. neither is mod_rewrite

In reply to: Upgraded to 2.8.6, hacked within 12 hours.Far as I know my FTP didn’t get hacked, when I called my hosting company they said my account login with them was the same as before.

In reply to: Upgraded to 2.8.6, hacked within 12 hours.How would you know if hackers accessed your WordPress site via FTP? They sure aren’t going to advertise the fact by changing the FTP password! Unless someone has gone through the FTP access logs and checked, you’ll never know …
you answered your own question. SOME hosts (good hosts) make ftp logs available. Hacks that are a result of malware are very easily spotted in the ftp logs. Lastly, even without logs, those hacks have telltale signatures.
