Lenny

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

Lenny

Right I now get

Error establishing a database connection
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?

This is probably because I created a new data base but I updated the wp-congig.php file with the database info?

Should I use my old wp-config.php file from my original WP download that I had up and running?

I tried to install WP3.0 aitomatic upgrade didn’t do anything so I tried the manual.

Made a complete mess of trying to delete specific folders as per instructions so I thought my webite is fairly new so I’ll just start again.

Deleted all my uploaded WP files and reinstalled them through the filezilla

now just get 404 error tried to access my webpage and admin

someone advised me to delete my sqq databease and start again from scractch so I created a new sql database and in change tha nem of the config folder and updated the Db details accordingly with secret keys updated still does not work.

I am all out of ideas and desperate.

I think I just need to start from scartch again but that doesn’t seem to be working either

If someone could give me some clear steps on what to do I would be so gratefull!

Cheers
