I’ve already read that, that’s the link he sent as well. I have followed the directions to the best of my abilities and it’s not working which is why I’m here. As mentioned I’m new to the terminology and process of things, but have successfully setup 6 WP sites from scratch on my server, I just can’t seem to install someone else’s work. As mentioned all I was given was a Zip file that contains a wordpress directory and what was on his site and an .sql file along with that link you just sent.
Again, thanks for the link, but I’ve tried the parts that I believe apply to me and I can’t get anywhere with it. I’m still researching the issue(s) and hope to find a solution soon or i’m just going to have to shelve the project for a few weeks. Was planning on working on sites during a few off days, but the times almost up unfortunately.
