Blank Pages Trouble with new WordPress install
Not only have I had a bit of trouble moving to a new IP address – but this post is being done, missing the Visual part of the WordPress new post editor. That’ll be another post after I get that fixed I suppose….
Here’s what happened:
-
I spotted some extra functionality on my domain host ixwebhosting that wasn’t available to me.
To get the functionality I was told to back up all files and databases and send copies of webmail somewhere else as a backup.
Three sites went fine. This one had a bit of a problem (betty).
- Then I struggled and struggled to get something to work. Like so:
- delete all files and start from scratch
- delete all databases and start from scratch
- remake wp-config.php about 9000 times (oh! that goes for the above as well)
- check oy the WordPress howto and documentation
- repeat all the above
- check the WordPress forums
- do some of the above again
- The last thing I tried was http://wordpress.org/support/topic/170234?replies=6 which led to http://wordpress.org/support/topic/169990?replies=7#post-738429 which took a while but made me realise that the permissions on wp-config.php were too limited. I had the permissions as world-read only (CHMOD 4) and as soon as I set wp-config.php to CHMOD 644 I could run more or less as normal – except by now I had a shed load of files, themes and plugins to re-install as I’d pulled the lot as part of my ever increasing panic.
I’ve now found that CHMOD 404 is sufficient to let the system work.
