BUT: Yes, Virginia, there is a Dog... After a partial edit of that wp-config.php from the sample.php, and filling in the name, "wordpress", the user "wordpress_user, and the password "xyz123", a promising WordPress install page showed up. I have saved a copy of the original config page and have some questions that I'll need for when I write up my readable tutorial page. -----I don't think many of you know that for heading toward 7 years, I was the lead writer for a Q/A help page for newcomers to FreeBSD. We all can write; it isn't that difficult. But I spent/wasted 15 years of banging away on a typewriter writing stuff and editing stuff before I got seriously lucky and discovered computers. I will need help from the rest of the list and readers to make my HOW-TO INSTALL WORDPRESS strictly first-rate. Given that, I should be the last person to *ever* invest going into four days on this kind of effort. That said, a straight-up thanks for y'all who have helped me with this.----- I cut/pasted part of the config page to a yello w notepad. It unfortunately has those unfortunate DOS EOL things with the ^M. [i Figured maybe in pasting the lines, the wasted byte would vanish. Nope. Anyway, can folks tell me what is meant by "Keys and Salts"] ?? There are 8 places with define()'s. I can dream up 8 strings or phrases, no problem. But without getting into the guts of this blog stuff, can anybody tell me why I need unique [[ or VERY-VERY unique ]] strings? nExt, multiple instances of this blogware. A day ago i thought that one of the wordpress pages would be more than enough, but maybe in a year I'll need one on www and a second in journey. So in the unlikely event should I tag: ``$table_prefix= 'wp_';'' with ``$table_prefix = 'wp0_';'' ? (O think it is better to plan ahead now. Just in case.) > > > -- Gary Kline kl...@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix Journey Toward the Dawn, E-Book: http://www.thought.org The 7.97a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
