i’ll give this thing one last shot

  • Local installation on FreeBSD 7.0 php 5.28 apache22 2.2.11 mYsql 5.1.30 phpMyAdmin current – WordPress 2.7

    WordPress is set up under virtualHosts …./data/wordpress
    with /data as main directory. Have other virtual sites that work just fine… wordpress is impossible to access through virtual hosts – wp-login.php is not recognized. However, if the directory ( …/data/wordpress/wp-login-php ) is specified, the login pages appears but login produces errors…
    The database has been correctly setup, during setup the Dashboard was available… but I got sidetracked with the css plugin which is installed … but for the rest… forget it…
    What am I missing here?

    I’ve already wasted too much time on this thing – I thought it would simplify producing a web page with blog possibilities… but I think this may have been a biiiig mistake.

    My question was only for the posts here in this forum…

    Are you saying that I need a new database for another vhost?
    I already have a couple set up… what I don’t understand is how do I set up wordpress for the other vhosts – without having to reinstall wordpress for each new/old vhost? Seems silly to be installing the same program over and over – kind of clutters up the HDD.

    My question was only for the posts here in this forum…

    Highlight/select the text and click “b-quote” in the editor. Or place “blockquote” tags around your quoted text.

    Totally off topic, sort of…

    …But I just dragged my FreeBSD server up out of the basement and fired it up, and low and behold, I cd’d to /usr/ports/www, and there is not just wordpress, and wordpress mu, (as I expected), but Joomla, Horde apps, impress cms and just about everything else I never had a reason to look for. I’m suddenly feeling re-inspired to break things on a whole new level! I think this weekend, I’ll download the new 7.1 release, throw gnome2 on it, (such a time saver for playing around) and learn some more about installing and configuration of FreeBSD packages.

    Thanks for the inspiration!

    Oh. Wrap the text in < blockquote> … < /blockqoute> without the spaces, that will style it with a gray box. It’s useful for quoting what other people said.

    Are you saying that I need a new database for another vhost?

    Either use a new table prefix for each vhost or create a separate database. When I had multiple blogs on one server, I had a separate apache2 vhost for each one and a separate database for each blog.

    That’s the point of a vhost right? To virtually be a separate web server instance with it’s own config and directories.

    If you want to have one software installation, look at WordPress MU. It’s a more complex set of code. For now I’d stick to WordPress if I were you.

    FreeBSD rocks – no zillion flavors but solid performance, easy installation of ports/packages, simple updates of ports – use portsnap – also great support if you should have any problems…

    Thanks again jdembowski – great help
    While I have your attention, are you saying that I basically need just other databases for the vhosts – When you say do another installation, does that mean only the database? I’m a little confused on this…

    want to create a new vhost and get the working with a new database using the five minute install.

    What do I do with wordpress, do I have to do another directory under the main data directory on the server? Can’t I use the one already set up. I’ll try playing with it to see…

    That’s really up to you. The point of vhosts are that you can have one IP address, but multiple web server instances selected by name. If you want to have more than one WordPress blog running on your server, with different data/posts/look etc. then having a database for each seperate WordPress blog would be easy.

    It’s a preference, not a requirement.

    If you just want to run one one blog, then you are already set.
