Quote by: DirkQuote by: rob62In the config.php, I changed:
... far too much.
You only need to change $_CONF['path'], $_CONF['site_url'] and possibly $_CONF['path_html']. Leave all the other path and URL settings alone, they will all fall into place automatically.
For your MySQL problems, see
Can't connect to local MySQL server

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: I'm tired!
Thanks to all who help.
I started over today and reread the instructions and followed Dirk's advice.
I found out today that my $_DB_HOST is not local host or mydomain.com, but
$_DB_ho $_DB_HOST = 'p41mysql19.secureserver.net'; // host name or IP address of your DB server
I set all permissions to 775 in dir logs/ and files and public_html/backend dir and all files.
I run:
http://melendy-mi.us/geeklog/admin/install/check.php that can test the permissions for you.
and received:
Unfortunately, an error has occurred rendering this page. Please try again later.
I edited lib-common.php (as per instructions) and changed the require_once path to:
require_once( '/geeklog/config.php' );
$_CONF['path_html'] = $_CONF['path'] . '/home/content/l/i/b/libby86/html/geeklog/public_html/';
$_CONF['site_url'] = 'http://melendy-mi.us';
(http:// ? in the line above and line below this note - I don't know.)
I run:

Same as above except added different $_CONF['path_html']
