 * I have just installed instant wordpress so I can test a few ideas for our blog.
 * I’m having a few problems with it since I don’t want to start fresh but have 
   a backup of our site that I want to copy over. I’ve tried copying everything 
   over but this didn’t work, UI think my wp-config.php is pointing to the wrong
   location so I edited and put the local host detail in there for the sql files
   but still couldn’t get in.
 * I’ve also just only copied the content folder and loose files but left wp-admin
   and wp-includes as the one supplied with instant WP, this also didn’t work.
 * I’m sure I’m missing something simple!

 * I’m sorry but we don’t support Instant WordPress here. It has nothing to do with
   wordpress.org.

 * I know it’s not specifically to do with wordpress but I had seen mention of it,
   would there be a better section to post?
