Re: Cannot get to my admin page

do you have vodahost account?
if yes you need to change your dns
because i see your domain is still pointed to another server

Yes I do have one. How do I change my dns? Sorry, I am such a newbie :(.

Re: Cannot get to my admin page

Yes, I found out what you're talking about now. I did go to my registrar and have the domain name forward to my new id address. It says to allow up to 96 hours for changes to occur. Sometimes it takes less. So when this happens I will be able to see me admin page?

Re: Cannot get to my admin page

usualy when you purchase domain, it will come with control panel or domain manager. from there you can change the contact address , contact name and also to change the name server/dns of your domain

I can access your admin page just fine.

Re: Cannot get to my admin page

Update: my admin page was working fine but now when I tried my link it gives me this error:

We were able to connect to the database server (which means your username and password is okay) but not able to select the ooiroorl_wrdp1 database.

• Are you sure it exists?
• On some systems the name of your database is prefixed with your username, so it would be like username_wordpress. Could that be the problem

I checked my database and everything is still there. Any ideas?

Re: Cannot get to my admin page

it look like the database is missing, what did you do?

[blnda84]

not anything, I didn't mess with it i promise. What do I need to do?

Help Lt. General, I see the file uploaded in my ftp. How can I get it back to the database?

Is this the database string you're talking about? It is still there:

Connection StringsPerl$dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:ooiroorl_:localhost","ooiroorl _wrdp1","<PASSWORD HERE>");PHP$dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "ooiroorl_wrdp1", "<PASSWORD HERE>") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("ooiroorl_");

Re: Cannot get to my admin page

I really do not know what you did, what file did you upload to your ftp?
The best bet (what I would do) is...

1) Edit your config.php file with your database inforamtion.

or if that does not work...

2) Do a fresh install and use the previously created database.

Re: Cannot get to my admin page

Ah hah! I took your advice and reinstalled. I noticed I had a message in my cpanel to update the wordpress. After re-installation I was able to get to the login. Hope this clears it up. Thanks.
