sql? ftp? platform?
Wednesday, January 17th, 2007oh my gosh… i’m trying to move my blog over to another place, but i didn’t realize that it was going to take me all night! ok. this is what i want to do. i want it hosted on blue-something and i want to use word press “as my platform” whatever that means.
anyways. it says 5 minutes! yeah, maybe for computer people! how about for the rest of us? they offer a free install, but i’d have to give them my password etc. i guess i can do that and just change the password later.
so i got a domain name and everything. now i’m trying to install word press. i only finished up to step number 3.
1. Unzip the package in an empty directory
2. Open up wp-config-sample.php with a text editor like WordPad or similar and fill in your database connection details
3. Save the file as wp-config.php
4. Upload everything.
upload everything? upload what? i don’t know what to upload! what am i suppose to upload?!?!
I KNEW I SHOULDN’T HAVE GONE WITH FREE SOFTWARE! but this one was touted by so many and the other one was $40!
i guess it’s not too late to get the other one, but now it’s about the challenge of finding out what i’m suppose to upload and finding out how i’m suppose to use ftp to do it or something like that.
there’s so much info on this stuff on the web that my brain is on overload.
wish me luck -
i wonder if i’m missing another service or software or something … hmmm
HUH?? what does this mean?
define(’DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
ok. i think that i’m understanding it. i want to go from point A to point C - i understand both points, but how do i make point B???
SUCCESS!!!!!! i found the auto-install. but still…. even finding that was hard.
