By the way, the option is set in a database table. Login with phpMySqlAdmin and go to the wp_options table. Option 1 is the site url. Change that to match your URL and you should be good to go.

It looks like your wordpress install thinks its in either

root/wp/blog/

or

root/blog/

It’s strange that it’s not asking you for a site URL (it always asks me for one when I install). Which version of wordpress did you install?

I’m afraid I’m not sure how to edit the site URL in wordpress without using the admin interface (I’d imagine it’s in a config file somewhere). I’m 90% sure that once you’ve got that figured out you’ll be sorted.

I’m not sure if this will be much help but hopefully it’ll point you in the right direction. First thing that strikes me is that you’ve got unix/windows style filepaths mixed up (i.e. C:\windows\style/unix/style). This could be what’s causing the ‘no such file or directory’ errors.

Next, you’re getting a ‘Permission denied’ error which is what you’re going to have to look into. A google search for ‘windows file permissions’ might be where to look next.

Hope this helps.

Normally themes ‘just work’ by unzipping them and putting the contents under the wp-content/themes/ folder so there’s no special trick to installing themes. Which FTP client are you using?

Take a look at the generated html source:

<ul id="secnav">

<li class="page_item page-item-324 current_page_item"><a href="https://www.test.tlcyouthgroup.com" >Home</a></li>
<li class="page_item page-item-326"><a href="https://www.test.tlcyouthgroup.com/blog" >Blog</a></li>
<li class="page_item page-item-328"><a href="https://www.test.tlcyouthgroup.com/about-us" >About Us</a></li>
<li class="page_item page-item-330"><a href="https://www.test.tlcyouthgroup.com/services" >Services</a>
<ul>
	<li class="page_item page-item-394"><a href="https://www.test.tlcyouthgroup.com/services/print-design" >Print Design</a></li>

	<li class="page_item page-item-332"><a href="https://www.test.tlcyouthgroup.com/services/website-design" >Website Design</a></li>
	<li class="page_item page-item-334"><a href="https://www.test.tlcyouthgroup.com/services/logo-design" >Logo Design</a></li>
</ul>
</li>

</ul>

As you can see there, there are no menu items being generated for the first three top level headers. My guess would be that you need to add child pages to the ‘About-Us’, ‘Home’ and ‘Blog’ pages in order to get them to show up.

Can’t be sure unless we know a little more about the way the menu is generated. Hope this helps.

TextWrangler is also a good free option. It’s not a WYSIAYG (i.e. you won’t see the design), but it has built in support for remote ftp editing which is always handy on web projects. For more robust PHP support, Eclipse + PDT is a good option too.

The true coder however uses vim, (which you’ll already have installed on your Mac). To use vim, just open a terminal (look for it in spotlight) and type in the command ‘vimtutor’ to get started.

As wordpress is just a bunch of text files and db tables (like most websites), any text editor can work with WP.

Hi there,

When you installed wordpress (all three times!) what did you enter when it asks you for you blog/website URL? It should be “www.northernwell.se/wp” rather than just “www.northernwell.se” which I imagine would cause this sort of error.

If that’s not the issue, then the next thing I would do is put a random file in the install directory (like an image, or copy the old wordpress index.php to ‘old-index.php’ or something, and create a new index.php) and see if I can access it from my browser. If that works fine, then I know its a problem with wordpress and not the web server.

If it’s a problem with the server then you’ll have to take it up with your web hosting company or sysadmin.

If it’s a problem with wordpress, I’d then start by going into index.php and turning on PHP errors (add the lines:

ini_set(‘display_errors’,1);
error_reporting(E_ALL|E_STRICT);

to the beginning of your index.php file) to see if PHP was throwing out any errors. If I got some errors that would probably lead me to the answer. Make sure to remove these lines when you’re done!

At that point if I hadn’t found anything I would probably get in touch with my host and ask them if they’ve had any issues with wordpress installs in the past.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get on.
