SQL syntax error: couldn’t register an user!

  • Help! I don’t know anything anythiung about SQL! I just installed WordPress 1.2 so that I can import my exisiting Grey Matter stuff and then I plan to upgrade to WP 1.5. Only problem is the importer fails with this error:

    Database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘WHERE user_login = ‘webhobbi” at line 1]
    SELECT user_login FROM WHERE user_login = ‘webhobbi’

    ERROR: couldn’t register an user!

    My Host is HostRocket. I have CPanel and MYPHPadmin. Can someone give me a hand. I am reasonably adept at HTML but know nothing of SQL!

    I fixed it. Reinstalled to a different directory and for some reason it works now.

    Hey everyone,
    I am getting a similar error message on my blog when I try and respond to people commenting or when I try and pull up an individual post:

    WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘ORDER BY post_date ASC LIMIT 0,1’ at line 1]
    SELECT ID,post_title FROM wp_posts WHERE post_date > ” AND post_date < ‘2005-05-16 13:35:11’ AND post_status = ‘publish’ AND ID != ORDER BY post_date ASC LIMIT 0,1

    So if anyone has suggestions on what to do, I’m all ears. Thanks for your help.

    Lisa
