Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

[RtX]

I have a Zen-Cart store working fine. I have wanted to add a blog. I am not familiar with Wordpress, although I do now have it installed on a test site. I would like my blog to be "under" my store - in other words I want ZC to be the boss and the blog on WP to be the servant of ZC. I want there to be consistent styling between ZC and WP.

Will this mod do this for me and do I need to be up to speed with WP before I start the integration process?

Thanks.

I'm very confused as to why this isn't working for me. Please help!

I have the newest versions of zencart and wordpress. I have wordpress installed in /public_html/wordpress/ and zencart is installed in /public_html/shop/

Here's the page where wordpress is supposed to be: http://www.gleefulthings.com/shop/in...page=wordpress

Here's wordpress:
http://www.gleefulthings.com/wordpress/

please help!

file not found home/gleeful/public_html/wordpress/wp-config.php

Wordpress is looking for that file, and cannot find it.
Secondly...have never yet got this mod to work, unless wordpress
is installed in same directory as zencart..i.e. in this case, would be
your directory /public_html/shop/

[julieoolie]

ok, I guess I'll have to reinstall it there. Is it best to put all the files directly into the shop/ folder or should I make a Wordpress folder in the shop folder?

Am I going to have any problems with the tables it creates when installing? Will the new one just overwrite them or something?

Hi!
How do i uninstall wordpress for zen-cart?
I didnt quite get the instructions in the readme..
Do I just delete all wp files in my directories, and delete
the wp entry in the database?

thanks!

Is the file above, wp-config.php, in your zencart folder /shop/

[julieoolie]

yep, that's the exact path to it.

Did you install wordpress into same database as zencart?
Post details of wp-config.php here, minus database password.

[julieoolie]

No, it has it's own database. Were they supposed to be in the same one?

// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', 'gleeful_wordpress'); // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'gleeful_julie'); // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', '********'); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
define('DB_COLLATE', '');
