Edit: a MS. Jackass.

Ah, a MS. Digital Deity – forgive me.
Next time you post, post in the sake of utility.
A helpful remark, without the snark.
A tip without the ‘observational’ quip, if you will.
As I said before, your help is appreciated,
your [polite] patronizing was not.

Just giving you back a little bit of the attitude you were handing out.

Glad to see you managed to re-coup a bit Jenno – It’s all a learning game for me @ the moment too (usually the case) and every idea spark helps.

Also, Whooami is a jackass and I think you will appreciate my verbal pWn’ing of him in my thread which he [unfortunately] chose to make an utterly useless appearance in:

Cheers!

And additionally, if you think your light years ahead of my knowledge, why the f|_|ck don’t you tell me HOW to fix my issue instead of citing examples of ‘ppl who don’t know what they’re doing, or why’.

Go ‘head and show us all how big your brain-penis is. I’m sure we’d all like to see it in action.

Yeah, that’s cool. The condescension isn’t necessary though.

You do realize that EVERYONE must encounter a problem for the first time in order to know how to fix it…or was that deleted out of your all-omniscient memory along with the geek-meekness that vanished when you hit Level 70 in WOW.

It’s great if you have some constructive criticism, or uh, whats that other thing called…oh yeah – HELP, to give. But if all you’re interested in is pulling your nerd out and being a punk-@$$, then leave it at the login screen buttercup.

Support forums contain the word ‘support’ for good reason – as opposed to ‘$h1t-talking’ forums.

Of course I don’t know what I’m doing [yet]; it’s called learning.

Yeah, I’ve tried exporting the single (complete) ‘epochsy_wordpress.sql’ file from my old site, and importing it into the new site (hosted with HostGator) and I keep getting a 1062 error regarding various errors.

I’ve also tried single-table dumps (ex: wp-posts.sql or wp-options.sql) and still get a 1062 error.

But, I’ll check out the “moving wordpress” doc again and see if another retreading of the same path will turn up any new ideas.

I’ll post the 1062 error I’m getting with the db-import attempts later today. Off to work for now….

Cheers.

ps. I only uploaded various versions of WP to eliminate that as a cause, which it did, because I’m getting the same wp-admin “White Screen of Death” on versions 2.6-2.8.

You really just need the wp-options and wp-posts tables if you just want your content.

But good luck, I’ve been trying to do the same thing because I’ve been slammed with the dreaded WSOD (White Screen of Death) on my old server and every time I triy to import any of my tables, I either get a 1062 error or a “server interrupted” message.

BOLLOCKS.

BTW – Cocscrap – if you cant see your .htaccess file after you’ve transferred it onto your computer, it may be because you don’t have the ‘view hidden files’ box checked under the folder properties of windows explorer.

After you’ve changed this, you should be able to run a search for it in whatever folder you think you’ve downloaded it to and then just throw a .txt on the end. This will allow you to edit it normally in wordpad or whatever text editor.

Hope this helps!

Additional things I have tried:

-Making sure all my directories are 0755 access (NOT 777)
-full and partial db export transfers to my new host/site
(full as in complete db.sql copies as well as single directory transfers: wp-posts.sql or wp-options.sql)

Regardless of the db I’m trying to import to the new site, I get an infuriating 1062 error.

Cheers for any help – even if its just fellow commiserating.

BTW – I’m also guessing its likely something DB related, so if you want screenshots of any of my directories or specific tables, let me know.

Yeah, none of the links worked BECAUSE I had deleted my .htaccess file. I’ve gone ahead and re-uploaded it, so you can see all of the links and individual posts work now, but still just and painfully white, blank wp-admin page.

AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhrg.

Could there be something in the .htaccess file I need to edit?
