I FTP the files up. I try the admin/install and NOPE..
I open the Config file and enter all the information and NOPE..
I double check the database, Yep. RELOAD.. NOPE FAIL..
Its so frustrating. NEVER once has this worked for me.
What am I missing? I follow all the instructions to the letter and write down EVERY user name and passowrd and Data Base name and triple check it all.
NOPE.. FAIL..
]]>Where are you setting up these WP sites? Let’s focus on hosting stuff first.
Right now, I see a database connection error.
Is the database actually running? Can you access it via phpmyadmin?
]]>Thanks
]]>Is the database actually running? Can you access it via phpmyadmin?
I think so? I can go in and open a thing that looks like a database control panel.
I do not know how to show you what I am seeing but that is ok since I dont know what it is.
what is UTM8? It said UTM8uf4 or something like that. I remember one time I changed it to UTM8 and it worked. So I do not know if the uf4 is supposed to be on there or not. I tried to find that info in the database but I can not find were I found it before.
I only know enough to make a big mess not fix anything.
]]>I have triple checked everything three times. That means I have looked at every thing 9 times. No idea. Everything is correct. This is how every setup I have ever done goes. Somehow it ends up working but I end up trying 600 things so there is no way to tell what I did that made it work.
I end up spending 6 hours each time I do a 5 minute install. Someone forgot to put the 6 hour part in the install instructions.
“The Famous 6 hour & 5 minute install”
]]>Does that look right? The part, (‘DB_COLLATE’,”): Looks weird with two ” and nothing in between. Is there supposed to be something between the ” or should I take that out?
Yes it is my host or me. I do not know enough to be able to tell. Or how to fix it and I am doubtful anyone can help but it does not hurt to ask. Any information can teach me something even if it does not solve this it is helpful information. I learn from everyone as much as I can.
Thank you all!
]]>I copy/paste everything possible in the text around configuring and setup, nothing gets re-keyed EVER, this includes database names, usernames, passwords etc.
I have the following organisation of local files:
wpsetup/
core/
wordpress494AU
wordpress491AU
noncore/
config/
wp-config-sample.php
wp-config<client>.php (all clients like this)
themes/
storefront224/
storefront-child/
plugins/
testimonialslider295/
z.maintenance
robotsBAN.txt
robotsALLOW.txt
googleWebmasterValidation.html
So that using filezilla I can instigate the core file upload, and then put up selected themes and plugins and housekeeping files too. Then some get renamed.
Setting things up this way is really boring.
]]>is fine. WP will punt and go with its current default collation.
Does your host meet the minimum recommendations for WP hosting?
