Previously I used wordpress version 2.0.2 from dungog.
I checked the dungog site and there is an other version of wordpress: 2.2.1
So I did yum --enablerepo=dungog update wordpress smeserver-wordpress
and it updated wordpress.
When i went to www.myurl.com/wordpress I got the error message that there is something wrong with the userdb or password...
So I checked the wiki of wordpress and found:
The config file is now templated, so changes need to be made in a new fragment
eg. /etc/e-smith/templates/opt/wordpress/wp-config.php/05local
check which setting you want to change with
cat /opt/wordpress/wp-config-sample.php
then add the new setting in the new fragment and expand, it will overrule the old
expand-template /opt/wordpress/wp-config-sample.php
Do I have to copy /opt/wordpress/wp-config-sample.php as /etc/e-smith/templates/opt/wordpress/wp-config.php/05local ?
then make changes to /etc/e-smith/templates/opt/wordpress/wp-config.php/05local
and then restart by expand-template /opt/wordpress/wp-config-sample.php
Thanx a lot!

I removed the two rpm's from dungog with yum remove wordpress smeserver-wordpress
I reinstalled the two rpm's but I have still the same problems. When I checked www.mysite.com/wordpress I didn't get the wordpress setup. (probably due my previous installation) It says: "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 localhost."
So I check the template file at /etc/e-smith/templates/opt/wordpress/wp-config.php/10db
changed the variables to the wordpress variables (databasename, password...)
Then I try:
expand-template /opt/wordpress/wp-config-sample.php
and it says:
ERROR: No templates were found for /opt/wordpress/wp-config-sample.php.
at /sbin/e-smith/expand-template line 45
Anyone an idea?

Probably because you had a different password on your old DB (the new rpm's generate a random password).
You can see what password wordpress is trying to use by config show wordpressI would go in and change the password for the wordpress user in mysql to the one in your config entry and you should then be OK.

second step should have been
expand-template /opt/wordpress/wp-config.php
but this isn't the problem, as all these steps are only needed if you want to change the defaults
here there is a problem with the db password
possibly the value in mysql is different to the wordpress{DbPassword} value
{{Trevor beat me to the answer}}
So I check the template file at /etc/e-smith/templates/opt/wordpress/wp-config.php/10db
changed the variables to the wordpress variables (databasename, password...)
why did you need to change this, if they weren't already wordpress variables raise a bug

That could be the problem indeed. Will try this this evening. Thanx!

Sorry for that, they were (are) wordpress variables.
