upgrading trouble

    Hi Everyone,

    I really hope I can get some help on this, because it’s truly becoming the most frustrating thing in my life right now!

    Well, I haven’t messed with my blog since I created it in 2005, other than adding posts and such.

    Recently though I have had to start dealing with it, and really need to upgrade it. I followed all the instructions for upgrading it, but am having so much trouble, as usually happens with me. When to go to the upgrade.php file to continue on, it tells me it needs a wp-config file and all that stuff. I edit the config-sample file because it was the only one I could find at all, renamed it, and then uploaded it. Still said it needed the file. Some steps later, after getting a bit frustrated, I added that file to every single folder and level of my wp files, and it STILL says it cannot find it!

    Am I just completely missing something? Can anyone please help me, because I really need help with this. I’m hoping once I’m through with upgrading, that I can at least figure out how to get my page looking the way I had it before too, but I first need help with this dern, simple, upgrade!

    I really appreciate any and all help on this matter, and thank you in advance!

    Thank you so much for your help Moshu. I didn’t mean to leave you hanging there, but I had to take a break from all this for a while Lol

    I remember seeing the file a while back and using it to use my own “404 page not found” However, I think my host might have gone through some changes that probably caused the deletion of the file, so I am checking with them to make sure it is still alright for the file to be used (making sure it doesn’t mess up their servers somehow).

    I’ll check back again after I get an answer from them! Thank you again, you have continued to be very helpful!

    Well, I was told that the .htaccess file is no longer used. Hmm . . . well they said the PHP scripts are ran as CGI executables, and I should use a php.ini file instead . . . ?

    Well, once again, I need some help, or rather advice.

    If I mess with the memory limitations in the file, as they suggested, I risk crashing the server because I have a CPU limit. I can do it, but I’d have to be careful. It’s also something I’ve never messed with before, so I’d have to look into it.

    However, I’m hatching another idea. I’m thinking this trouble MUST be something I did because I’m finding it odd that a simple upgrade difference would cause the memory usage problems. So, I’m thinking of wiping everything clean. Taking the posts (and comments) and putting them on my site in HTML format (or something else, not using the database anymore) elsewhere. And starting completely over again. Completely ??

    But, do you think such drastic measures should be taken . . . is there anything else that can be tried to solve this problem before I do this?
