Thread: Upgrading to wordpress 2.7 using cPanel

I logged in to my cPanel.

I have two blogs.

http://www.mywebsiteworkout.com/wordpress/ and
http://www.mywebsiteworkout.com/personal-finances/

/wordpress/
When I saw that wordpress 2.7 was available, I went ahead and clicked on wordpress 2.7 upgrade for my blog /wordpress/. I had not saved wp-config.php file. But it went fine. I just added the revision control statement in it.

/personal-finances/
After I repeated the same for my blog /personal-finances/, I had not saved the wp-config.php either.

Without realizing, I copied wp-config.php from /wordpress/ blog over to my PC, made revision control changes and uploaded it to /wordpress/.

But at the same time, uploaded the /wordpress/ wp-config.php file to my blog /personal-finances/.

Is there any way I can retrieve the /personal-finance/ wp-config.php file?
Because the /personal-finances/ is using the database for /wordpress/ now.

The wp-config.php for /wordpress/ has the below information.

define('DB_NAME', xxxx); // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', xxx); // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'xxx{'); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
define('DB_COLLATE', '');


I remember when I started /person-finance/, it had similar info but with:
define('DB_NAME', 'lxjscie_wrdp2'); // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'lxjscie_wrdp2'); // Your MySQL username

Please help!

Login to cpanel and go to mysql or php admin and look at the databases and the users to those databases.. update your config file to reflect the different data base and reup

I tried that. I got xxxxxxx_wrdp2 as DB_NAME and as DB_USER.

Made the changes, uploaded the file.

Still the same problem.

Is there anything else in that file I should change?

Please help!

I cannot access the blog.

Make sure you are uploading it to the CORRECT version of wordpress, since you have two of them operating. I would create a NEW user in mysql with a NEW password. Dont ever publish them to a forum.

Without manually logging in and looking at your account and your files.. i have no way of knowing.. what to do next, without downloading the database and reinstalling your wordpress.

hi Karen,

I added another user with password. Uploaded it.
Still the same problem.

Is it possible that my account is setup again to
be upgraded to wordpress 2.7 exactly like before?

Did that upgrade create a new wp-config.php file?

If it did, then repeating the same process
should work, right?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks Karen.

The problem went away. My password in wp-config.php was wrong.

There was an extra character in it.

Thanks again.
