RE: [PHP] Need help Wth PHP
I was able to install Wordpress, but how do I identify the database from the original site? Do I need to change some settings in it somewhere with the authorizations from the new install on the new server? Right now, if you go to the website, a generic page created by the install comes up. I seem to have lost the original page.

This is where it gets fun as there is no one way of doing it and it depends on the hosts way of providing mysql databases :( ( I don't use mysql at all myself, but someone should be able to direct you to the right way of doing it ) -- Lester Caine - G8HFL - Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Need help Wth PHP
there is a file called wp-config.h in wordpress files mostly located in the source parent there you can see the database name , username and password. that file also may contain the site url. This way you may be able to identify the database from the original site. If you do not have wordpress in your new server you may be able to install it using cpanel application.. software engineer department of computer science Rajagiri school of engineering and technology.

RE: [PHP] Need help Wth PHP
If I remember this correctly ... The database information can be setup/modified only with the install/reinstall. If the DB's are moving to a new server, You have to copy out the databases directly from the DB manager and then do a fresh install of WP. You should also copy out any custom theme css .. When you go through the installation process, you can specify your new DB access info and then once installed and theme selected, copy in the archived CSS from the old install. It's a bit tricky. I'm trying to direct you to the correct process based on memory from when I've had to do in the past, so apologies if it's a bit spotty but it is definitely more of a manual than automated process. 1. Backup DB's directly from old DB manager (i.e. MySQL or other) 2. Archive custom theme css if applied 3. Export posts from old WP install admin as a safety measure 4. New install of WP at new URL 4. Specify new server DB access info and new WP and site URL's during new install 5. Apply appropriate theme and update any custom css with archived css from old install. I hope that helps... not saying this is the only way if there is other advice to be offered, but this is what has worked for me.

RE: [PHP] Need help Wth PHP
Ok, scratch the db info can only be setup/modified with install/reinstall.. Forgot about wp-config.php ...doh! Otherwise, you still need to backup the DBs from old server manually and move them to the new DB manager. I believe I did a fresh install because you also have to update the URL settings in WP admin and I think I just found it easier and less confusing to do it the way I recommended. Whoops ..good luck!

There are better lists/forums for getting help with frameworks built from PHP, like e.g. wordpress. I think you are just going to have to start from the beginning and learn wordpress as if from scratch, if you choose to stay in that environment. As you study, you'll breeze through where you already know.. and discover (more slowly) where are the holes in your understanding, that you need. Besides finding a suitable forum/list, just doing searches on Google will undoubtedly yield the answers you want, too. -Govinda -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
