  • Hi.

    are you saying that the wp install is using the joomla install’s database. In your control panel there should be a way to go back to fantastique to uninstall the wordpress site. Fantastique does not normally use a database that already has another app. installed but see if that works to delete the wp site.

    this is the message of fanatastco for installing any script in cpanel

    Use Fantastico to automatically install any of the scripts listed on the left. Installing any script will use one of your available MySQL databases. Removing any script will free up one of your used MySQL databases.

    Click on any of the items on the left to get more details.
    fantastiqo has remove option for wordpress but

    I’m afraid if i remove it it remove my origin database .

    thanks for your help

    In your control panel you should also be able to view the database information and there you would also see something about which install uses which database ie. Joomla would have a set of database parameters(db name, db user, etc.) and WordPress would have a certain set of parameters. If the parameters are the same for each then they are using the same database(requiring a solution I can post later if this is the case) or if they use a separate database then the joomla error is not due to the sharing of the databases. I do not have a host account with a cpanel but there has to be something in your host telling what databases they use – try “mySQL databases”.

    a step further once you know which database or you can just go to phpmyadmin and browse the databases to see if you have wp_ tables and jos_ tables in one database.

    The statement you pasted from fantastico about “Installing any script will use one of your available MySQL databases.” just means that it uses a ‘new’ database from however many databases your host allows on your account. So it really should not be installing within the same database. You may just have another issue within Joomla.

    I cheked the databases in phpmyadmin and the joomla table are 72 and wp table are 11 and they are different .

    but in my sql there is an option to check database
    and when i do it it will show all the table are ok now .

    4 hours ago when i started this message there were some messages that some files was not closed correctly ( something like this)
    but now the database check is ok for all table , but still the site will not come up .
    do you think to remove the wp for next action .

    thanks a lot for your help

    I can see your main site now on Joomla and I can click through links without errors. I can also see your WordPress site.

    Are you still having issues with the main site? I don’t think there is a need to uninstall WordPress in fantastico but if you still have a Joomla problem and since we know WordPress is on a different database, the Joomla support forum would help with those specific issues.

    I hope everything is working out for you now.

    Hi again

    Thank you very much for your help .
    I asked from Byethost about this problem , they helped me
    and problem solved . the solution was as belows

    1) Make a new database user in your cpanel.
    2) Link your new user to your database, and grant all privileges.
    3) In your script config file use that new username/password

    Best Regards
    A.O
