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.
Thanks,
Rod

If it's not, you can add it yourself in much the same way you uploaded the
'profile' for the wordpress site ... http://wordpress.org/download/
Essentially it is just another PHP application, but you do need the database
that goes with the original site.

On the original host, there would be a mysql database in addition to the
'website' and it is that which you need to copy over. 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 )

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..

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.

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!

Not me.
I pick and choose my clients based upon several things -- one is their ability
to fully understand what they want. And if what they want exceeds their
understanding and thus my comfort level, then I walk.
Live is too short to work for ignorant people. Realize that if they don't
understand the job, then they won't appreciate the effort, and you won't be
paid as you should.
Several years ago, one guy asked me how much do I charge. At that time I said
"$50 per hour" He replied "I've never paid more than $25 per hour -- would you
consider working for that?" I replied "Sure, but it's going to take me twice as
long to get anything done." Needless to say, I didn't get hired.
A year later he returned and we had the identical conversation again. It was
clear that he didn't like the programmers he hired at $25 per hour, but he
continued looking.
In addition to failing to get what he wanted, he didn't realized that his time
is also worth something and he was wasting it by measuring programmers by a
single metric. Some clients are simply not worth the effort and that's my point.
Cheers,
tedd

Ah, well, thanks for the job advice, guys. I'll go looking elsewhere
for possible PHP solutions. Or, failing that, continue the build up to
actually being able to replace all of this with a company-wide (and
hopefully PHP-based) solution.

I would like to use the SQLite3 (not PDO) interface to SQLite, and I would like
to be able to supply a string containing several SQL statements and have them
all executed, thus saving the overhead of several calls. It *appears* that this
may be how it actually works, but I wondered if anyone could confirm that.

If you mean "use php to interrogate a port" I would think the answer is No.
Computer port=client; PHP=server.

You can if the port is a server port, i.e. you're creating a daemon. But, if it
is the client machine you wish to inspect, then as Jim mentioned, PHP is not
for you and something like java may be better suited, although I'm not sure how
much power an applet has in this area.
