    I am going insane with this process. Someone please tell me:

    1) I have dreamhost and I use smartftp as a client however I can login to see my files. What do I use as the "host" name?

    2) my site www.homeatbusiness.com has an "error establishing a database connection" message. What does this mean? How can I fix it?

    Thanks in advance,

    Tyrone

    Tyrone,
    My guess the database error means you have the database name, user name, or password wrong in your wp_config.php file or did not set them up properly in your host. Also, sometimes in cPanel we forget to add the user to the database. I am not sure though if Dreamhost uses cPanel.

    I hope this helps till someone with experience with dreamhost add in.

    @Tyrone: is this a new site? If so, delete the entire thing, including the database.

    then, restart from scratch, and make sure you do not overwrite the wp-config.php file.

    I had similar problems, which I eventually got fixed. Then I followed the process for installing semiologic and it seemed to take. BUT when I logged in, it was still the wordpress stuff. How can I fix this? And/or where did I go wrong here?

    Also, filezilla didn't upload the media folder at least as a folder. When I searched for media in my public files, I found some - but I don't know which one to make changes to. I uploaded it twice (once, then deleted it, then uploaded it again and neither time did it upload the media folder at least as it looks in my folder).

    Thanks,
    Jeanette

    With dreamhost you need to setup your own mysql host.
    So the "host" name would be like mysql.your-domain-name.com.
