Deleted SQL Data

If you are asking–I deleted my MySQL database that held my posts/pages/comments/users/etc. then if you don’t have a database backup, talk to your host–maybe they have a backup of your database.

If you are just wanting to get WordPress running then review Installing WordPress.

Thanks

Basically I tried to maunually install WP 3.0 and screwed it up yesterday.

Thought I’ll just start again, that didn’t work

Someone suggested deleting SQL DB and creating a new one which I have done and updated the config file with the new DB info

I was getting a 404 error when trying to access my webpage admin but now get:

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 db2567.oneandone.co.uk. This could mean your host’s database server is down.

Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
Are you sure that the database server is running?

So I was thinking it does recognise my new sql db info?

Is getting the old DB info the only way or can I get WP set with the new db info?

Thanks

No. You just need to make sure the info in your wp-config.php is correct. If you don’t know the correct values for DB_HOST, DB_NAME, DB_USER, and DB_PASSWORD, call 1and1 support for help.

ok I’ll try again when I get home later much appreciated
