Yes I have found that contrary to the details about filling out a minimum of information in the address section if it is only an online Zoom meeting I have to keep the complete address, if I don’t I am unable to ‘update’ the information!

Hi Ronak,
Yes I would be OK to make changes to a PHP file on my server.

Thanks for looking into the issue with Flickr, I look forward to hearing back from you.

All the best,
Wilf

I must fall into the 1% who need to change “localhost” to the IP address of my host.
I slowly worked through the settings changing one thing at a time and eventually the “wp-admin/install.php” did its thing and I was in. From there a very simple setup. And yes it took 5mins!!

This is at the top of the interface when I open the phpMyAdmin:
Welcome to phpMyAdmin 2.5.5-pl1
MySQL 4.0.16-standard running on localhost as my55505@localhost
Here is the wp-config.php:
<?php
/** WordPress’s config file **/
/** http://ww.wp.xz.cn/ **/
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘my55505’); // The name of the database
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘my55505’); // 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 */
$server = DB_HOST;
$loginsql = DB_USER;
$passsql = DB_PASSWORD;
$base = DB_NAME;
define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);
// Get everything else
require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.php’);
?>
It must be something simple for me to do or change to get wordpress to run – anybody got any ideas?

OK I will. It’s late where I am so probably tomorrow before I get anything back. I did of course check the other posts before jumping in. I have also checked (again) that there are no spaces before or after any of the info that I put into wp-config.php.
Could you give a bit more of an explanation regarding:
– that your ‘username’ is correctly associated with mysql
– that your username has all priviledges
Thanks for your help.
