Restoring a WordPress blog

  • Ok, after a long wait, I finally decided to upgrade to 2.0.3. I think I made a huge mistake. I followed the simple instructions, deleted all but the wp-content folders and files. Accidentally I deleted my .htaccess file as well. Now, I know how to restore the .htaccess file by adding the values from the database. But I’m stuck. I’ve uploaded the new files and the new .htaccess file. Nothing is working. It’s giving me a 500 error. Some one please please help!

  • This is a different error message you’ve got there – compared to what was previously displayed.
    In the earlier version at least the username and pw were correct!
    I am afraid you entered the wrong data in your config file.

    Do you have more than one database? Do you have more than one WP installs with different prefixes?

    no. just one wordpress install. one database. nothing more. i’ll just go over it once more.

    If you think I can take a look at it – it is becoming difficult to guess what’s in there.
    email me at moshu at transycan dot net with the access info

    i just went to https://www.simran.in/blog and saw a blog. Does this mean you’ve got it sorted? Do you know where your problem was?

    Wooohoooo! it’s working. the password was wrong. i thought i was supposed to put in my ftp password, turns out it was another one.

    Moshu, I owe you big time. If you ever need any help with anything.

    Glad it works. (if you just could cut the grass for me, LOL… ??

    I would if I could. It’s just that we’re probably on different continents.

    Just kidding, don’t worry!
