THIS MAY BE A DUPLICATE - SORRY IF AND ENDIF
Well, it is interesting this entire subject comes up now!
Having lived seven months with the monkey on my back saying it can type out, given enough time, the correct set of values that will allow my wordpress blogs to run correctly without getting the fatal “”you don’t know how to connect to the database, do you?”” taunt.
Today, sorry Anthony Hopkins and Jane Goodall, I killed the monkey. It took longer than the allotted 30 seconds. It turned out to be not a chimp, not a chump, but a fullsized hermaphrodite gogorilla.
The circle six fix doesn’t work for me.
The new highly vaunted, yet secret to all those plagued with the dreaded db connect virulence, unless they live on wp.org 24/7, I say the highly vaunted wp-config con fig value assignment capabilty for siteurl does not change my data base. not one byte, not one bit and thus methinks should vaunt itself not, at least not in my diggs for it functioneth not.
I am guessing because I don’t dare spend another six weeks in the bowels of wp code trying to figure it out plus the required six subsequent weeks of postwp either way high doses of lithium and/or gorilla therapy.
I am guessing the gateway gauntlet to the delirius joy of functioning wp blogness handles urls differently and staticly and changes things to its own idea of how the cosmos runs rather than considering whether the siteurl is a virtual host where all sites and host have a common IP address and other possibilities such as different hierarchical paths through the server to the site depending on whether the site admin is the host admin or not -shudn’t matter but
While waiting for some answer to come from suppfora and wp dev to settle out, I searched for other blog/CMS/mag tools. They all had deficiencies that made me really appreciate those moments I enjoyed a working wp blogerel.
So, I was overjoyed with the circle six article and finding the mentioned fields I had idiotically overlooked before. And for a split second everything indicated the light at the end of the tunnel might not be a wayward and hallucinating 747 aircraft coming at me. The jazz was working wonders on my brain from my now ancient german equipment and tons of vhs PAL tapes of everybody from Bix Beiderbeck to Joshua Redman. Then I changed databases on a rather new blog and whammo, friz, napoleon blownapart!!!!
I am out in the cold again and cannot get that db and wp code in cahoots and all the wp-config mods in the world are not going to help, I fear. Bad attitude but it is an acquired taste.
But it is good to know that someone is out there dealing with these things and good to know some of them have a jazz ear - jazz works.
