Since I’m not that comfortable changing files, I tried the plugin that you suggested. I increased the size limit to 1GB and tried again. This is the error message that I got. Any thoughts? Thanks for your help.

“Cloudy days – Eagles.mp4” has failed to upload.
There was an error opening the temp file /home/studpopc/public_html/wp-content/wmufs-temp/1-4ef11e9925fb8939d5747880f6c84f24d6b29c0d.part for writing. Available temp directory space may be exceeded or the temp file was cleaned up before the upload completed.

I got it fixed. Thanks!

Hi Steve,
I’m getting nowhere in a hurry. Let me ask you this:
If I do a fresh install of WP in an empty directory, can I then replace that newly created database with a backup db from my dead site?

Or am I talking crazy?

so you’re saying that “blog” is not the name of my database?

This is the entire error message:
Can’t select database
We were able to connect to the database server (which means your username and password is okay) but not able to select the blog database.

Are you sure it exists?
Does the user yscr_bbGgog have permission to use the blog database?
On some systems the name of your database is prefixed with your username, so it would be like username_blog. Could that be the problem?

I have never seen that user name

Thanks Steve.
I understand that those 2 strings are being used to fill the variables DB PASSWORD and DB_USER but neither of them are recognizable. They are so randomized that I think that they are an encryption of the real things, and that’s why I didn’t have a problem posting them.
I’m pretty sure that mysql is the host name since the message says that I am connecting to the database server and that username and password are good.
So with all that said, any thoughts?
Thanks,
John
