Just transfered my site from Drupal to WordPress. Generating a lot of 404′s for URLs that don’t exist, probably from spam bots. For example /comment/reply/123 or some other number.

I want to redirect any request for /comment/reply/###, no matter what ### is, to a specific page.

For example, domain.com/comment/reply/123 and domain.com/comment/reply/321 etc. should all go to domain.com/comment-error

I tried this:
RewriteRule ^/comment/reply/[0-9]*$ /comment-error/ [R]
… and variations on the above, in the existing .htaccess file as follows:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^/comment/reply/[0-9]*$ /comment-error/ [R]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

All but the line I added is a part of WordPress.

It didn’t work. It didn’t break the .htaccess file, but it ignored URLs I typed in following the pattern that it was supposed to redirect to /comment-error/

How do I redirect all URLs matching a specific pattern to a special error page?
@RockyMtn thanks for the link. That helps a bit, but their problem is different from mine and htaccess is very particular!
@AIT-pro Thanks for the long and detailed explanation.

I want to to with the URL because I don’t know or care what the referrer is. I just want to keep my 404 tracking logs clean!

Installing WordPress

Hi again lol
I’m back and I had a question about installing WordPress on a Mac computer. Basically how do you do it? :) I’ve looked up tutorials and they are a bit advanced for me with wording that is not for beginners.
They say I need web hosting as well as MySQL and PHP. Are these two in the same? I have Cyberduck on my computer which I use to upload some of my website files online but what is all the other stuff? Once I have MySQL they say I need to make a new MySQL database and I also read of using MAMP or cPanel. What are these and which ones would be optimal for working on a Mac?
If anyone could please help simplify this installation process it would be very much appreaciated.
Thanks again everyone

I’ve installed wordpress before to one domain name and it’s working fine. I have added a second domain under the same hosting plan (multiple domains and databases are supported under my plan) which I would like to also install wordpress to. I have created a second database and webspace for this new domain and uploaded all the wordpress files as I did with the first installation. The wp-config.php file has had the dbname, dbusername, db password and host information filled out correctly. (as far as I can tell). when I go to www.newdomain.com/wp-admin/install.php I’m getting a message that wordpress is unable to connect to the host. I’ve also received just a blank white page a few times as well. I’ve checked and the info is correct with what was provided when I set up my 2nd database. Any ideas of what to try? I’ve already cleared the wordpress files and reuploaded them a few times, with no luck. Thanks.

I have begun installing wordpress onto my website and I had a little bit of trouble with the database setup page where you have to give the database name and username and host name… So I finally fixed that problem and now the next page is the prompt for the “Blog Title” and it also asks for an “E-Mail Address” I have entered multiple different valid email addresses and yet it keeps bringing me to an error page saying “ERROR: you must provide an e-mail address.” And underneath that it has 2 boxes to re-type the Blog Title and the Email Address. Is there a specific email address it is looking for? Or is there a way to fix this?

I am planning to make personal website. Should I go with wordpress blog. Or should I install and wordpress on free web hosting service. Which one would give me more control? which one would me more search engine friendly? Any suggestions.

Is manual installation of wordpress is better than 1-click installation of wordpress? Someone has advised me that I should install wordpress manually and not through 1-click installation which most of the hosting companies support. He told me that 1-click installation of wordpress creates problems at later stage( it creates problems in opening the pages of website)
I want to know is it true or is it just a myth?

Hi this probably will not be my last question about installing WordPress… I’m getting majorly confused pretty early in this!
So here’s what I need to figure out:

1)Database Name
Database Name used by WordPress
2)Database Username
Username used to access Database
3)Database Password
Password used by Username to access Database
4)Database Host
The hostname of your Database Server

I have created a new mysql database through “godaddy”‘s control panel (I have my hosting from there)
so I have the username and password for that, so numbers 2) and 3) are not a problem.
But I have no clue what the database name used by WordPress is, and no clue where to find the hostname of the database server.

Any help?
In my cPanel it says the host name is the name of my website.
In the cPanel Mysql page it says the host name is the same as the username…
I’m not sure which one is the host name, or if it’s neither and just “local host”
Well for anyone else with this same problem:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Possible_DB_HOST_values

will tell you whether your hosting site has a different host name than “localhost”

Also, I think the Database Name (used by wordpress) is possibly the name that I gave it for reference, I just called it “wordpress” which is labeled as “description” on the godaddy mysql control panel.
********************FINAL EDIT****************************
DUH… GoDaddy already offers WordPress as an “App” so it’s just a matter of pressing a few buttons if you already have hosting with GoDaddy. I’m not going to advertise the website, but do a search and you’ll find out where to navigate too in order to get WordPress on a GoDaddy hosting account.

I installed wordpress watching a video tutorial using my own domain name on a free host called 000webhost.com. I installed it in the sub directory “public_html” as shown on the video and created the MySQL database as well. The url looks like this after installation: http://ivanjaquez.com/wordpress. The thing is I want wordpress to be my homepage (http://ivanjaquez.com).Note: If I type in ivanjaquez.com it shows: “Index of / * wordpress/” message.I tried installing it in the root directory but I failed trying to do that.I tried the redirects option but it gives me an error. Thanks in advanced.

I installed wordpress in localhost server and when i click on view post in dashboard it is showing index of

and showing files list

I am using windows platform

apache server

mysql

php5

thanks

I’m installing wordpress on my GoDaddy domain and I keep getting this error message when I run the install file: Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress.

I know there is a lot of literature on how to fix this, but I don’t understand any of it! Could someone please baby me through it?

I’m using Firefox, Mac OS X, and a godaddy hosted account.
Thanks, dhyrm!

I had no idea it was that easy, you just saved me a bunch of time.
