This problem gets set right only if TeamSpeak3 is installed.

I have already renamed wp-config file & also changed the database-user-password, but after saving when cuming back to this file, then i find that database-user-password is not being saved in wp-config file.

After changing and saving database-user-password in wp-config file, then if i refresh my website, then its does nothing but same HTTP server Test page.

I have already set my shared IP to my server IP, but still its not working.

you will need to follow all informations regarding this issue specified on our wiki.

Can i export my existing wordpress site to use it here on my own server??

obviously yes. That has nothing to do with any web panel available onlinel

Code: [Select]

Hello, I have the following issue.

I have CentOS VPS, I have installed CWP, I have made a new account, a database, I have downloaded and istalled wordpress with putty, I have renamed and complete the wp-config.php file correctly, I have shared IP, but I still getting apache test page when I broswe to server's IP. Of course I have restart apache.

I'm trying more than 5 hours, searching, experimenting but nothing. Still apache test page.

What could be the problem?

Thank you!
- same here.  We can commiserate.  Turn that 5 hours into three days for me.

You may want to try fixing permissions in CWP.  But I've tried that and it only worked once.

Did you remove the standard index.html file when you created the domain name

Hi

 So I also get error for logging into the wordpress:
1- i created a new user, a new database.
2- I can access my temporary index.html.
3- i rename the index.html file
4- i upload the WP.
5-i open the file paste db user.. and do the installation, wp 5min said : install is ok.
6- when i go to login : i put user and pw and :

    Error you don'T have permission...    I can't log in.

 I follow the first post, file and folder are as per the : fix permission. But it's just not working. I can't log in.  I can see the WP page without issues, but login... not.
 I try to put permission to 777 on wplogin file and all execute on other file, but not work..

 Is there a user need to be member of.. ? is the user need to be member of apache group ? There's no www-data as if a straight install were made.

Thanks for help

are you running mod_security in apache?
