http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hey all, this is just a random one for ya to ponder if you're interested... So I have MAMP installed on my Mac so that I can locally test and modify my wordpress site. I was finished so I went ahead and moved the files to the online server. following that, I imported my database into mysql... now for the wierd stuff. when I go to the site, I get automatically redirected to 'localhost:8080/website' instead of 'mysite.com/website' I did it with two different backups that I had made. One through phpMyAdmin --> Export and one through Wordpress Backup To Dropbox. Both had the same r (HowTos)

Stories similar to Random Wordpress...

Guys need little bit help here.

I have recently moved one of my website from shared hosting to new managed host with the following step by steps.

I want to create a site based on Wordpress that is only accessible from my own machine (localhost). In other words, I do not want my computer to be a server.

I was trying to move my wordpress installation (done from apt-get) to another folder and manage it myself, so I apt-get remove'd wordpress. Later I decided to apt-get install it again, but after I did, visiting the site errored out with a Error establishing a database connection.

So I thought I'd check if the db is gone. I opened mysql on the command prompt and did show databases;.

I have a reseller account with hostgator, which means i have WHM and Cpanel. I have set up a staging environment for one of my wordpress installations (client website), which is essentially sitting at staging.domain.com (live site is at domain.com). The staging website is a complete copy of the live website and utilises a different database.

I'm learning about servers, and I'm configuring Nginx, MySQL, PHP, and WordPress. the server distro is Debian 6.

I created a new user and I want each user to be the owner of the site folder /var/www/site.one, so I run the command chown -R kossel:kossel site.one

My problem is, my WordPress only works if I chmod 644 wp-config.php, which all can read wordpress site suggest that file should be 640.

I've installed everything that is needed by Wordpress i.e. nginx 1.2.5 (built from source on /usr/local/nginx), php-fpm with other php packages and mysql via apt-get. I downloaded wordpress-3.4.2.zip and extracted it in /usr/local/nginx/html/blog. I've created MySQL database for wordpress with all privileges.

I need to create a new MySQL user to manage my wordpress site. What privellages are needed for wordpress?

I assume INSERT is also needed and maybe DROP?

Example

GRANT SELECT ON database.* TO user@'localhost';

A friend is experiencing a random redirect to an RU domain for two of her websites, along with a malicious cookie attack, as per a Norton pop-up everytime I load a page on her site.

I checked out her WordPress installation and I saw a suspicious plugin which I deleted, and I also cleaned up the .htaccess files which were clearly compromised with these Russian redirects.

However, even after ensur

tyring to set up wildcard subdomains for wordpress 3 on localhost in Ubuntu 11 and no idea how to go about debugging this. Wordpress and wildcards seem to be set up correctly. If I create /var/www/domain/test.domain then that subdomain works. The wordpress network settings are working on their end, with all the network options available and can create a new site.
