OK: Fixed the problem: this is how I did it. 1. I changed all necessary setups to 'localhost' in all files necessary to make the install work properly. 2. I logged in as root for access to PhpMyAdmin - Then created a dummy user called 'user' (Host is localhost) with no password and NO permissions on the database 'wordpress' other then 'usage', which apparently is what you get when you make a user with PhpMyadmin with No permissions given 3. I logged in as admin, with the supplied password 4. From there, went to general settings, and found the 'wordpress address field', which has "http://l

Iccaros: I actually got Wordpress Installed, but had to access PHPMyadmin, which was hard as hell, because I figured I would NOT be able to access it. I edited the file in in /etc/phpmyadmin (the config.inc.php) file to set the database to localhost and I also went into the PhpMyadmin to make a user called 'user' with ONLY access permissions to my database, called wordpress. After I did that, I made sure that I had permissions for 'localhost' on all db's associated with wordpress, entered 'user' as the database user, and left the password blank. I went to the server and did a (http://loca

Iccaros: No Problem!! The server that has MYSQL is the same as the onwe that has wordpress. Wordprerss is in my /var/www/brian directory. however, i did set up a virtual directory - not sure if that has anything to do with it, but I can connect to it from my computers - I just cant install wordpress. Will look at this info and see what the deal is, but wordpress support for this issue sucks Thanks, Brian

Iccaros: I created the user, and am STILL having problems with the setup: I connect from my machine to 192.168.1.60, which is the IP address of the elive server, which is also known as Eliveserver.buddy-baker.us. I placed the server's wp=config.php here for you to see. The passwords work, permissions seem OK, but the script cannot connect to the server: <?php /** * The base configurations of the WordPress. * * This file has the following configurations: MySQL settings, Table Prefix, * Secret Keys, WordPress Language, and ABSPATH. You can find more information by * visiting {@link

OK: will DELETE the 'brian' user and try again using these instructions, and will keep you posted as to the results Thanks for the help Iccaros Brian

I cannot seem to make a connection to the mysql server with any results: I get: root@Eliveserver[/var/www/brian/wordpress]# mysql -u brian ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'brian'@'localhost' (using password: NO) root@Eliveserver[/var/www/brian/wordpress]# mysql -u brian -p Enter password: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'brian'@'localhost' (using password: YES) root@Eliveserver[/var/www/brian/wordpress]# mysql -h 192.168.1.60 -u brian -p Enter password: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'brian'@'buddy-baker.us' (using password: YES) What am I doing wrong?? sh

Hello Everyone: Well, I have my server active, and I have solved one problem that is bothering me. Now, I want to install Wordpress 2.7. I have access to webmin to access the servers config, and I have added a database for the Wordpress blog, but when I set the mysql username and password to what it shows in the control panel, and add the info in the script, and try to install, it says: Error establishing a database connection This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can't contact the database server at 192.168.1.60. This coul

Happy Birthday Shanein - have a Great Day Brian

Thanks for this information - I think I will have to look into most of these, as they seem to change so FAST - luckily, my training has changed as necessary to deal with these nasty things Brian

Hi Everyone: Thanks to the Admin and Mod Teams for creating this space to discuss these matters I voted for Barack Obama myself, and I want to see him make some changes to the "system." Far too often its the fat cats on wall street, the investment mongers and those that make millions that seem to "benefit from" any stimulus package. I have been on the "system" since I was 18, and I can tell you that it was time for the system to kick up some money to help people that need it. What I wanna see is President Obama send my "Stimulus Plan Money" straight into my benefits amount, rather then to

If you have the basic Text Editor, an Internet/Web Host, and an internet connection with either SSH or SFTP access, you should be half way there. The basics of HTML seem to be within your grasp, so the one thing that I can tell you from experience is to start SMALL, and work your way UP. I started on my linux account about 11 years ago, and learned HTML from some books, some friends and a businessman who wanted me to build websites for him. I took it slow, steady, and learned the basics of coding the hard way (using no Frontpage, Dreamweaver, etc) and using this knowledge, I am expanding in

I have been using windows for years, and I have played with VISTA. I will not "debate" which OS is better, because for every good thing you find (PRO), there is a bad thing (CON) I have used Linux, and now have elive on my server, whicn will serve my web needs for the future and so far, I love it. There are a few things that I would like to see Vista Improve on - One of these is that when running AVG, it seems to not be able to add itself to the OK list of programs it recognizes. This can be a problem if you constantly have to give "permission" for this to run. It's a good thing to ask per

Hello all Just wanted to tell you that as of last week, I have the IBM Netfinity from our office on my local network. I have configured the user accounts as necessary, and have been working on the apache setup. I set up the httpd.conf in /etc/apache to respond to the following domain: http://buddy-baker.us This domain will be maintained on the server, and when I am ready, I will continue to work on locking her down and send her back to the office, where my friend will assign me a static IP address for the above domain. buddy-baker.us is my development server, so I can "play with" linux by

systemlookup.com is a great site, however, I still am getting used to the way it disseminates information back to me, as I continue my training - lets hope that this site will NOT be subject to all the bad stuff that happened at castlecops. I do not belive that it will, because we have good people that are working on this site, and they are the best of the best ;D Good Luck!! Brian

Good Luck Joe - Will be Praying for you Brian

Shanenin: I didn't have to use sfc, but was able to fix the problem. I will post the LINK to the Fix I posted in the Malware Removal Instructions for WinAntivirus 2009 - using these instructions put the taskbar and startmenu in good order in ten minutes!! Thanks for all the Help and encouragement Team Brian Your link did not work for me (kept saying I couldn't edit the thread ) So I presume this is the fix you refer to http://www.besttechie.net/forums/index.php...mp;#entry121871 1.

No Problem Shanenin Brian

Even in my Training, my instructors DO NOT recommend CCleaner: We are to use ATF - I agree with Jeff Here - I'd rather use something SAFE then to use CCleaner and have a damaged PC, or use it and damage someone elses Brian
