Hi there,

That worked like a charm. One question is this: When I connected before doing this if I clicked on the “Return to site” button, it would take me to the page where I should select a plan. If I chose the free plan, nothing happened (and I would still see that it wasn’t connected). However below that button was a link that said “Return to Pats Computer Services”. Clicking that link would take me right back to my site, but I wouldn’t be connected.

Also, now that it’s fixed, will this break when there’s another update, or will I continue to use the old method of connection?

Thanks again. ??
Patrick.

Hi there,
I just saw this, and went to my hosting provider and upgraded to 5.6 (using the PHP Configuration in cPanel). I’m still seeing the same issue. I click on “Link to wordpress.com” and it shows that it’s connected. If I click the “Return to Pats Computer Services” link, it takes me back to the Jetpack page in my wp-admin and it shows “You are not connected to WordPress.com. Link to WordPress.com”. Also if I go into my wordpress.com site, it shows my website as “My Site”.

I’ve even tried logging out and logging back in. When I go to any of the sub-pages for Jetpack, it says the same thing. I do have an option of “PHP Edge” in my PHP Configurator. Supposedly it uses the latest version that Hostgator has in their system, which might be 5.7 (it shows PHP 7.0 as a version number presumably to allow it to keep working up through that version). Would that be an option to try?

Thanks for your help.:)

The screenshots are available through my site. The live preview one is at https://patscomputerservices.com/?attachment_id=589 and the actual version of the site after activating it is at https://patscomputerservices.com/?attachment_id=590

Yep. That’s what it was. You have to put the document ID for the folder in (the portion after #folders/ in the link when you open the folder). Then it works.

Thanks.
Patrick.

Ok, I had updated my wordpress (and deactivated all of my plugins prior to that), so all of my settings were erased. I authorized and then set up everything the way I wanted it, and clicked “Save Changes”. Then I refreshed, and got these lines in the log:

So, apparently I need the document ID for my folder on google drive? Not the folder name.

Thanks, and have a great day:)

Thanks Johnb81. I’ll try that later. I’m not too worried about it, as it’s only an internal blog. I was more worried, because I’m migrating from blogspot to a hosted website using WordPress. Thankfully, that issue didn’t happen in the migration.

I wonder what causes it in localhost (or local machine) installs, but not in the 1-click installs on sites like DreamHost and HostGator. Something for the devs to look into, maybe.

Have a great day. ??

An update to this. I reposted this in another forum (based on a reply in this forum to a similar issue as mine) and included my configuration files. In doing so, I realized that my /etc/apache2/sites-available/wordpress file had AllowOverride Deny instead of AllowOverride all in it. So I changed that, and am able to navigate to at least one of my pages. (I had changed it in the sites-available/default file, but not this one.)

Have a great day:)
Patrick.

And now, after actually “seeing” everything in one place, I found the problem. I had AllowOverrides Deny instead of all in my wordpress conf file. I changed that, and it works now.

It’s the simple things in life that really frustrate you.

Have a great day:)
Patrick.

Sorry for interrupting. I threw mine in because it was almost the exact same situation as the original posters. My mistake, and it won’t happen again. Like the original poster, my issue is solved now as well.

Have a great day:)

I have essentially the same error on my installation. I’m able to access the database in mysql on the server (I’m hosting the site in a virtual machine on the computer that I’m trying to run the installation script from).

Can’t select database

We were able to connect to the database server (which means your username and password is okay) but not able to select the wordpress database.

Are you sure it exists?
Does the user root have permission to use the wordpress database?
On some systems the name of your database is prefixed with your username, so it would be like username_wordpress. Could that be the problem?
If you don’t know how to set up a database you should contact your host. If all else fails you may find help at the WordPress Support Forums.

in mysql>, use wordpress; gives me database changed. show tables; gives me 0 records (empty set).

One thing to note is that I’m using the root user for mysql to access it. Could that be the issue (that wordrpess/apache/mysql somehow blocks this)?

Thanks and have a great day:)
Patrick.
