onesojourner

well I got it figured out. I had to change the “localhost” in the wp-config file to onesojourner.com (that would be a good thing to add to the how-to’s instead of just saying there is a 99% chance you dont need to change this)

thank you all for the help.

well i finally made some progress (I had to manually change the permissoins to every single file and folder in the wordpress directory.)

now i am finally sort of in word press. here is the error.

WordPress
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 localhost. 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?

If you’re unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.

all my password info is correct. the only other thing i can see that i could do with the database is that it gives me the option to create an ODBC connection (and i dont know what that is)

ok here is the screen i get when i click that link/tool
