I don't have/use Cpanel but it was easy to grasp the fundamentals. Successfully upgraded my test site. Now to do the farm site. You mentioned that there are a few changes if WP is installed in the root directory, but I couldn't find a link to them. Anything significant? Seems only to watch not to delete files/directories associated with other apps that are installed. One question/suggestion on the upgrade. Wouldn't it be better to get all the new WP files in place before you rename the live one. Then the site would be down for a slightly shorter time? Would have to shut the site down before doing the db B/U and transferring the upload dirs to make sure you didn't lose content I guess. Also, for a directory, would be easy to first make a "site updating" page and point to that during the upgrade. Murphy's law would say that Google would come by while the site is down. Thanks again. cheers, Andrew Thanks for the videos, made it all make sense. I don’t have/use Cpanel but it was easy to grasp the fundamentals. Successfully upgraded my test site.

Error establishing a database connection This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can't contact the database server at mysql509.ixwebhosting.com. This could mean your host's database server is down. Are you sure you have the correct username and password? Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname? Are you sure that the database server is running? If you're unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host.
