Topic: WordPress / http://localhost/wordpress?

THANKs! The options you presented were very helpful.

Topic: WordPress / http://localhost/wordpress?

When I attempt to access the Access BitNami WordPress Stack, the server redirects to the network gateway with a very long load time. Where do I go to update settings for wp stack to reference http://127.0.0.1/wordpress rather than http://GATEWAY/wordpress?

Thanks in advance,
Bill

Topic: WordPress / new wordpress database

Thank you.

Couldn’t connect with your example. Hence, I used ‘mysql> grant all privileges on . to someusr@”%”
> identified by ‘passwrd’; ’ to access db.

Topic: WordPress / new wordpress database

This is the error showing for page: http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/

Can’t select database

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

• Are you sure it exists?
• Does the user bitnami have permission to use the DB_NAME database?
• On some systems the name of your database is prefixed with your username, so it would be like username_DB_NAME. Could that be the problem?

If you don’t know how to setup a database you should contact your host. If all else fails you may find help at the WordPress Support Forums.

Topic: WordPress / new wordpress database

What is the error? Blank screen appears for page: http://localhost/wordpress/

What did I change inside of wp-config.php: define(‘DB_USER’, ‘newdatabase’);

Does the db exist? Yes

The database permissions are the same except for the wildcard setting. The new database uses “database-specific”. How do I set? See below:

User Host Type Privileges Grant Action
bitnami localhost wildcard: bitnami_wordpress ALL PRIVILEGES No Edit Privileges
root 127.0.0.1 global ALL PRIVILEGES Yes Edit Privileges
root localhost global ALL PRIVILEGES Yes Edit Privileges
root production.mysql.com global ALL PRIVILEGES Yes Edit Privileges

Thanks for your review. Bill

Topic: WordPress / new wordpress database

How do I direct “bitnami wordpress” to load a different wordpress mysql database install? I tried changing the database name using the wp-config.php file, but an error appears.

Thanks in advance,

Topic: WordPress / http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ passwd

Problem solved for phpmyadmin login: Username is ‘administrator’; Password is the same as the’Bitnami WordPress Stack’ admin login.

Topic: WordPress / http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ passwd

Hi,

I lost my password to phpmyadmin, so I tried the steps suggested at mysql support for resetting a password. Doing this caused more problems. Stopping the mysql server created Error 1059 (?), so I deleted my install of wordpress and reinstalled the BitNami wordpress. When I attempted to access phpmyadmin, I was unable to log in. I tried root,administrator, old passwords, etc. In addition, conflicts occurred with my BitNami WAMP install. Since I didn’t specify the correct ip. So, I uninstalled BitNami WAMP and BitNami wordpress.

Now I have reinstalled BitNami Wordpress, set the url to localhost during install, but I’m showing the port numbers for the BitNami WAMP install (localhost:100).

QUESTION:

1. How do I get rid of the port setting for the WAMP install?
2. What is the correct user name and password for phpmyadmin for a fresh install?
3. Documentation on mysql page has left me confused about the correct password. I read on the forums that the user name is administrator and the password is left blank according to the specifications set by mysql. What is the correct link for mysql for this information?
4. Is there a possibility that these credentials could be shown when you install a new wordpress stack?

I’ve really enjoyed using the BitNami software. My confusion comes from my novice status in installing all the separate entities (Apache, php, and mysql.)

Thanks,
Bill

How do you set-up a subdirectory to run inside of C:\Program Files\BitNami WordPress Stack\apache2\htdocs\test\test.php?

If I am using the wordpress stack, how do I configure apache to run a php file inside of the wordpress stack

http://localhost/wordpress/test.php

//test.php

<? phpinfo();

Topic: WordPress / ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404

Antonio,

Thanks for your help!

This set-up is working for me:

1. Create an htaccess file
2. Add this line to htaccess file: ErrorDocument 404 /wordpress/index.php?error=404
3. Place htaccess file in htdocs folder (BitNami WordPress Stack/apps/htdocs/ .htaccess).

Regards, Bill
