You know what? Forget it. I’ll figure it out eventually and if I don’t, oh well.

I *have* reviewed them, repeatedly, not to mention it’s still not working with the ORIGINAL wp-config and database, the only two things I changed to begin with. I’m glad it worked for you, you did the same exact thing I did, but it’s not working for me. And if I could figure out why I wouldn’t be posting about it here.

This is from the site that was originally using the database I’m wanting to move the others to:
<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’); // The name of the database
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘wordpress’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘password’); // …and password
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘pmysql.secureserver.net’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

Now for the one that isn’t working (the original file and not the changed one):
<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress2’); // The name of the database
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘wordpress2’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘password2’); // …and password
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘psmysql1.secureserver.net’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

Just so you know, I did alter the db name, user, password, and host when posting these for security reasons, but that was all. ??

The first one’s table prefix is the standard wp_. The second one’s table prefix is the site’s name, archive1. I can post those as well if you would like.

I’m not sure if this makes a difference but the archive1 site was using mysql 4.0 and the database I’m trying to migrate to is mysql 4.1.

This is a sample of what the database categories look like on the database I’m trying to migrate the archive1 site to (minus the “* Browse “):
* Browse archive1comments
* Browse archive1links
* Browse archive1options
* Browse archive1postmeta
* Browse archive1posts
* Browse archive1terms
* Browse archive1term_relationships
* Browse archive1term_taxonomy
* Browse archive1usermeta
* Browse archive1users
* Browse beginningscomments
* Browse beginningslinks
* Browse beginningsoptions
* Browse beginningspostmeta
* Browse beginningsposts
* Browse beginningsterms
* Browse beginningsterm_relationships
* Browse beginningsterm_taxonomy
* Browse beginningsusermeta
* Browse beginningsusers
* Browse davidcomments
* Browse davidlinks
* Browse davidoptions
* Browse davidpostmeta
* Browse davidposts
* Browse davidterms
* Browse davidterm_relationships
* Browse davidterm_taxonomy
* Browse davidusermeta
* Browse davidusers
* Browse surrealitycomments
* Browse surrealitylinks
* Browse surrealityoptions
* Browse surrealitypostmeta
* Browse surrealityposts
* Browse surrealityterms
* Browse surrealityterm_relationships
* Browse surrealityterm_taxonomy
* Browse surrealityusermeta
* Browse surrealityusers
* Browse wp_comments
* Browse wp_links
* Browse wp_options
* Browse wp_pflickr_cache
* Browse wp_postmeta
* Browse wp_posts
* Browse wp_terms
* Browse wp_term_relationships
* Browse wp_term_taxonomy
* Browse wp_usermeta
* Browse wp_users

*nods* I double checked the config file…

It turns out the issue was a host conflict. My webhost has put an index.html file in the folder for my domain since it hasn’t gone through the dns servers yet, and that file was something conflicting with WordPress and making it think I hadn’t installed it.

*nods* Yes, I just moved the files back into the wordpress folder and started plowing through the options looking for something like that and I found it. Thanks. ??

LOL, nevermind, I worked it out. ??

Nevermind, I finally got it to work. ??

I tried entering the host location in here, but other than that, no, I will try that now. ??

What four pieces of info do I need?

So I tried again, this time this is what it looked like, and this is the actual file word for word *except for the password*…

<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘shortst_wordpress’); // The name of the database
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘shortst_vixen’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘******’); // …and password
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple blogs in a single database.
$table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // example: ‘wp_’ or ‘b2’ or ‘mylogin_’

// Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
// chosen language must be installed to wp-includes/languages.
// For example, install de.mo to wp-includes/languages and set WPLANG to ‘de’
// to enable German language support.
define (‘WPLANG’, ”);

/* Stop editing */

define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);
require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.php’);
?>

*nods* I thought of that as well, and tried everything exactly the way it was done in phpmyadmin, with the pw being stripped of the whole hostname and underscore thing, then I tried stripping all of it of the hostname and underscore thing… none of it worked either. ??

LOL, sorry, minus the ‘CODE’ tags, I was worried that the code I was entering wouldn’t show up as text.
