Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

[A-1 Electronics]

I currently have Zen installed in the root dir of my server. I have Wordpress installed in a directory called 'forum'.

Is there a way to take my existing installation of Wordpress and move it so that it works inside of Zen without having to reinstall wordpress?

I'm sorry I didn't make out how to write a blog.

Thanks!

I have recently tried to install the Wordpress on ZenCart mod. I followed the instructions to the letter and rechecked all the steps twice. When I try and bring up my index.php, I get an error page stating that I have not installed Wordpress yet. I have and can access the admin panel. I did not upload the Wordpress index.php as instructed and when I open the index.php in dreamweaver, it is the page for ZC. The only thing that I may have done incorrectly is I left the old WP database in place and just dumped the tables. When I installed WP, it located the database and installed the new tables.

There was one item that I found in the instructions that was not exactly the same. "6.Change a file name [includes/extra_configures/wp-config.txt] to [includes/extra_configures/wp-config.php]." The file that I located here was accutally called 'wordpress-config.txt' and I renamed it 'wp-config.php'

Also, do I need to remove all 'index.php' from WP? example: wp-content/index.php

Any ideas??

Although I don't have the same problem, I have been having troubles having this working. Though I feel I am so close. I think it is hard to grasp the instructions, but it is not the Authors fault due to their locality. I think I have got most of it nailed, eg. wordpress in the root of Zencart e.t.c. Just me being dense and missing the finer points maybe. lol

As far as I understand, you don't need to remove the index.php from WP-Content.

A-1 Electronics...
includes/extra_configures/ must have wordpress-config.php file
re module instructions.. you have renamed wordpress-config.txt incorrectly...
No need to remove /wp-content/index.php

That was one of my concerns. The file from the mod is called wordpress-config.txt. However, the instructions state to find wp-config.txt and change it to wp-config.php. I was not sure how to name the file.

From what I am understanding, I need to rename it to wordpress-config.php, correct?

And thank you for your response.

I have to be missing something simple.

I am getting the same error.

Do I need to have one database for both zen and wp? I didn't think it would matter but maybe it does.

I have read thru and found nothing. Im sure this is simple. I have installed as per the instructions. I have edited the wordpress_config.php file to the correct settings, I think.


When I goto Your_ZenCart_URL/wp-admin/install.php, no error, just a blank screen? Help!!!!!!!!!!


Thank You
Gary

Finally got it.

Will this mod allow a registered account holder in Zen to post blogs without having to register in WP?

No it will not.
