Another Go Daddy installation problem

Thanks for getting back.

I can’t find Settings>>>General; and regarding the wp-config.php file, this is how it currently reads. Other than the salt keys, I didn’t change anything in it because it seemed all correct to me (I’ve xxxxx the password). Does this file seem correct to you?

<?php
/**

* Secret Keys, WordPress Language, and ABSPATH. You can find more information

// ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘gol1209105211889’);

/** MySQL database username */
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘gol1209105211889’);

/** MySQL database password */
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘xxxxxxxxx’);

/** MySQL hostname */
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘gol1209105211889.db.9159303.hostedresource.com’);

/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

/** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

I’ve managed to go into the database via Manage via phpMyAdmin and changed the URL showing as ‘local host’ to the name of my website. The site now has some styling, but the header is missing and clicking on links still refers back to local host. Here’s the site now.

I’ve also managed to find Settings>>>General as suggested by govpatel – I presume you meant for the WordPress installation, and this is what it says:

Successfully Installed on golovegreece.com
(March 31, 2012)
URL: GOLOVEGREECE.COM/
Admin URL: GOLOVEGREECE.COM/wp-admin/
FTP path: /
Database name: gol1209105211889 (golovegreece@WordPress)
Hosting account: Visit Hosting Center
Server technologies: LINUX, PHP 5.1, CGI 2.0, PERL 5.0, PYTHON 2.4, RUBY 1.8.4, MYSQL 4.1, 5.0

Is that right? Should I change anything here? If yes, how? What else do I need to do?

Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

you should have your urls if installed in root

I don’t quite get this. Can you explain a little further. Thanks

Sorry, I’m new to this and don’t understand what I have to do.

Thanks to Xperic I’ve now found the fields govpatel was talking about – in WordPress Dashboard, not in the part of Go Daddy that refers to WordPress installation.

It says:

WordPress Address (URL): http://golovegreece.com

Site Address (URL): http//localhost

So, what do I have to change these to?

I’ve looked up the WordPress <a href=”http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory
“>help file and it says:

3. In the box for WordPress address (URL): change the address to the new location of your main WordPress core files. Example: http://example.com/wordpress
4. In the box for Site address (URL): change the address to the root directory’s URL. Example: http://example.com

But I have no idea what the address of my WordPress core files is; nor do I know what the URL of the root directory is. How can I find these out? Thanks

I’m now no longer able to get into wp-admin and the WordPress Dashboard on my externally hosted site. I can access my site – which is now showing its header – but adding wp-admin to the URL takes me to localhost. I can access the Dashboard in local host. Any suggestions? Thanks
