Hmm…I just called GoDaddy (may be my problem to begin with) and they said the DB was good to go. Amazingly, after that, everything seems to be working OK….strange….

Last thing I did before that happened was to simply create a post in WP. Seems ok, tho….

Thanks again, Otto.

Thanks, Otto. I just managed to get that done….looks like I’m actually having some MySQL issues. Everything is extremely slow. Site, dashboard, everything.

I got this after i switched to the default theme:

WordPress database error: [Lost connection to MySQL server during query]
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM wp_comments WHERE comment_approved = ‘0’

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/r/s/t/rstrayhan/html/blog/wp-includes/wp-db.php:102) in /home/content/r/s/t/rstrayhan/html/blog/wp-admin/plugins.php on line 22

Right now, I’m trying to deactivate all Plug-ins and Widgets to see if that might help.

Wonder what’s happening…..

Cool, Thanks Handysolo! ??

So it would probably be best to create a separate DB, then? still have a few left I can create at GoDaddy.

Just FYI, these are personal (aren’t they all?) and the second would be one for my wife. She’s just tired of the whole Y! 360, Blogspot thing.

I had the same issue. Not sure if this would work for you, but I just changed my index.php file to:

‘<?php
header(“location:https://my site here/blog/index.php”);
exit;
?>’

That’s it. Works flawlessly.

I, for one, bow down to our new theme overlord…..wait…

Anyway, I think it’s amazing. Color scheme and all. Great work.

Wish I had just a bit of your talent….

MOSHU:

My bad. I really didn’t explain the very well and I’m going on 23 hours with no sleep right now, so bear with me if this gets….loopy. First, thanks for that link. I’m going to need that in the future.

Second, what I should have said was that there was no site to begin with. The first action I took on the site was to FTP WP to “mydomain.com/blog”. There was nothing except a GoDaddy place holder. Since I wanted to just type in “mydomain.com” rather than “mydomain.com/blog” every time, I made my main index.php a redirect to “mydomain.com/blog/index.php” and it works seamlessly.

Thanks and sorry for a late reply. I’d like to add a question to PinklyToe’s list:

*How are you uploading to Go Daddy? Is it CuteFTP (or similar) or Go Daddy’s FTP from their Control Panel?

For the record, I used their FTP. The only problem I’ve had since my install was an issue today with a plug-in I installed, but that was on me for not RTFA.

Holy Snap! That did it! Thanks Otto!

Sorry for the late reply….work nights, so…..

I just checked and it turns out I had copied the files to the js directory, not the scriptaculous folder. I’m doing so now and giving it a shot.

Lost of great ideas here. But here’s what I did:

After signing up with GoDaddy and transferring my domain, I didn’t want to be restricted by their “QuickBlog”, so I chose WP. After reading the 5-minute Install and this post, I decided to just try it.

So at GoDaddy, I switched from Windows to Linux hosting and setup the MySQL database. So far so good.

I had originally wanted to have a main page and the blog. So, after unzipping WP, I renamed the folder “blog” and used GoDaddy’s FTP from their control panel to upload it. tried the admin page and it worked perfectly. Followed the install and I’m up.

But I since decided on just the blog with no main page. I used a simple PHP redirect so I didn’t have to shuffle the directories.

All in all, a very painless experience.
