There’s FTP support with a free WordPress account…? I’m talking about transferring from a *.wordpress.com blog.

A little problem with the plugin here. It doesn’t appear to show the punctuation marks such as quotes and apostrophes properly. The Unicode codes are show instead such as #8217;

Thanks, I’ll try it once I have access to my host again and report back how it goes.

OK, I actually had the wrong DB_HOST name… The host admins at Daily just corrected the script for me. It should have been the same as the server name which was simply “db1” in this case and not “web1.hosting.hostvue.com”.

Thank you for the fast feedback everyone but it looks like I just couldn’t follow instructions…

I was trying to access “https://www.bakashikensha.com” to run the install script and that’s why it wasn’t running correctly. I was presuming the script was running since I was getting that database error message.

After using the correct URL “https://www.bakashikensha.com/wp-admin/install.php”, it’s all working fine now ^^;

Was worried I had wasted money on a rubbish host there (first time setting up my own domain and site!)…

Moshu,
Yes that’s what I thought so I’m using the user name and database name created in the cpanel. For some when I try running the script afterwards, it says “Error establishing a database connection.”

Dinzan,
I’m pretty sure it is. After logging into phpMyAdmin, I see something on the main page that says, “User: [email protected]”.

I could try asking someone to try and configure all this for me but, I want to know how to do it myself in case I ever need to deploy it again.
