Another WordPress site is up. This time for QJF Services in Newtown CT. QJF is a professional landscape and property maintenance company. They have been providing quality service in Newtown for a number of years.

The site is built of the Buffet Framework and all jQuery. I need to upgrade it to 1.4 but for now it is 1.3.2.

Facebook pages to come.

WordPress for the iPhone

I am using the WordPress app for the iPhone. I wonder if I can add images? Looks like I can.

I can now manage my blog on the run…like I really need that.

3 Days Later…

So I decided to upgrade my wordpress installation on my company intranet. We were running an older version of WordPress MU (2.7..so I thought) and wanted to bump it up to the latest.

I read the instructions over and over and seemed pretty straightforward. So I began.

Step 1. Tar up my site. That took forever.

Step 2. Dump my db. Did that.

Step 3. Script my db as well. Glad I did that.

Step 4. Back up .htaccess and wp-config.php and copy over all files (not wp-content).

Everything was going well. Checked permissions, files, db…all was in order.

Fire up my browser and nothing. I looked at firebug and saw that i was getting a 500 error. Checked the logs nothing out of the ordinary.

Did the following: login with the db user using phpmyadmin, mysql, changed password, created new user and nothing worked. I then created a new db and copied tables over…nothing. I then tried to start from scratch..kinda like a new install…nothing. Still could not connect to DB. CHMOD 777 everything. Nothing. Finally I downloaded another 2.8.4a version and uploaded the whole thing. New installation with that went fine.

Argh. Tried to change to old db, nothing. So I manually copied over all the data into the new database. Still doing it. Also, my theme no longer works…that is Fridays job
