ok. i reformatted and reinstalled everything. now wordpress files
look like they should. i reinstalled xampp into c:\program files.
the program works. i creatde a data base and i have made connection
in the admin tools section, odbc. however, the program says it cannot
find the myodbc3.dll and myodbc3S.dll files. i searched my system and
they are there. how do i get the program to recognize these files?
i extracted wordpress into c:\program
files\xampp\htdocs\christianity-philosophy. i changed the
wp-config-sample file with the necessary information and saved it as
wp-config.php in the same folder as the sample file. i opened my
browser, found the install file in the wp-admin folder and still the
wp-config file is not found.
i tried installing the program to c:\, but the install button was not
functional. i have downloaded the zip file and patches. would this
be a better route than with the installer. i'm no programmer and
would require hand holding for the install, but i'm willing to give
this a shot to put xampp into the root.
i'm beginning to think that this blog shouldn't be done. according to
the installation instructions it's a no brainer to install wordpress.
it does concern me that the myodbc dll's aren't found by the program,
yet windows says that i am connecting to the database. also there is
a db.opt file in the data base folder. i can't connect to the file
properly with the file dsn tab in the odbc section of admin tools.
any other thoughts?
