Great thanks for your help.

Thanks for your reply. I’ve read the article you linked and jumped onto Google’s webmaster tools or console or whatever it’s called now and I’ve removed the links but there were only a few, not the 12,000 Google is listing, so I’m not sure if that alone will clear it up.

So you don’t think it’s anything malicious? Is it bot related and won’t it harm my any search ranking?

Thanks again.

Oh, I forgot to add that securi scanner says that my site doesn’t contain anything malicious (but is vulnerable) and that Bing.com doesn’t list the fakes pages in their search results!

….if it helps, my objective was to set up a master user in sql, propagate full permissions down through to myphpadmin and thus into any DB created. Then use a modified wordpress template (when i eventually get that far), quick config file change nd bob’s your uncle, wordpress!

When I get to he install bit it just doesn;t seem to be recognising the user details, which I thought should have been the same as they are all the same at every level.

Root is not disabled but I have changed the password, essentially i’m tying to circumvent having to ever use root after initial WAMP install.

Not sure the above helps any or if possible?

Thanks a bunch yogex22, that’s helped clear things up for me loads.

Cool, i think i’m getting it conceptually…..

….so as long as the php code in the wp-config.php file (on the root of the host site) is pointing to user credentials that exist in the correlating SQL DB config, then it’s happy days?

In that case, am I right in thinking i can use WAMPs sqlbuddy to set me up as a master user so the user details auto replicate to any new DB i create? (My intention being to create sites for several clients, then uploaded them to their respective web server.)

Cheers

Thanks, thats good to know.

Also, should i be renaming the my differ project/website folders under the “../wamp/www/” folder to exactly reflect my SL DB names? on checking them they don’t appear to match since i renamed the extracted wordpress install zip, it just says wordpress?

Thanks ??

hey, thanks for your reply yogex22.

I’ve opted for a complete reinstall of everything to see where i went wrong. Not what i wanted considering all the time i’ve put into it so far but i’m hoping the process itself might highlight the steps i missed/got wrong.

just in case, so far ive reinstalled WAMP and i’m in the middle of creating a wordpress core db, then the db of the site i want to create.

One thing you might be able to help with, would it not be a good idea to add a custom user name and password to all SQL DB’s and use that instead of the default or would this caue further issues and/or changes when coming to uplaod from localhost to live host?

thanks again ??

Current output of the wp-config.php file that people online suggest ensuring has the correct db details: –

define(‘DB_NAME’, ”);
define(‘DB_USER’, ”);
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ”);
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

The bit that’s getting me is I don’t know any SQL and have never specified an SQL database, or have user credentials.

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
