Uninstalling a stackscript
-
I installed a WP stackscript...but got
an"Error establishing a database connection"
It worked yesterday. the only difference today is that I installed subversion first.
I am wondering: the mac text editor is rubbish, when i cut and paste stuff it is all different sizes etc...I used to use a good text editor with a Swiss cross on, but have forgotten the name.
So could the different text sizes/fonts have messed up my install?
And,
How do I uninstall the stack and try again?
Cheers

"Error establishing a database connection"
That's bad variables from wp-config to the db. Try installing a new db and connecting to that. There are manual guides here as to how, Marcus.
Nothing else would have messed this up.
If you really want to reinstall (which is not the issue, but to answer your question and, hey, it omnly takes 10 minutes to relaunch anyway), then relaunch a distro from your vps manager, then run the script.

Ah, just a simple MYSQL thing...
Was using symbols in my usernames and Passwords.
How do I delete unwanted databases?

go into MySQL as its root user:-
mysql -u root -p
give your password, then optionally list your dbs:-
show databases;
then name the one to drop:-
drop database [db-name];
and exit with
exit
and press return.
