However when I tried to access it with the following URL, it failed:
http://wp-companyweb01/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php
Nothing comes up.
A few things to check. Is your .htaccess file been overwritten with the upgrade? If so, you’ll want to look at some documentation to read how it should be set up. If you can’t find any let me know & I could post back some resources.
Also, log into mysql and find out what rows 1 (or two) and 39 (or 40) have to say in regards to the site url.
Also, does http://wp-companyweb01/wordpress come up at all? How about any other site?
Any additional information you could post would be helpful.
Actually I just found out that the connect user is granted to “localhost” instead of the servername.
so the solution is by go to mysql and grant:
mysql> CREATE DATABASE wp_itreewebdb; mysql> CREATE USER wordpressuser; mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR wordpressuser = PASSWORD("wordpresspassword"); mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wp_itreewebdb.* TO 'wordpressuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'wordpresspassword'; mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;now it all works.
