A couple times in the past few weeks I saw my site up and THOUGHT the whole moves and updates etc. stuff was finished and so continued working on the site, so I am not sure how much that might have caused this.
#1) I first ran into:
When I was trying to log out from my site. I tried things like clearing the cache to no avail.
#2) I noticed that I had WPU 0.8.4.1-RC2 instead of 0.8.5, so I tried to update WPU. This lead to WPU becoming completely inoperative and, in the PHPBB3 ACP:
To fix this I tried uninstalling WPU with the intent of reinstalling it, but I ran into the exact same error on the last step of the settings wizard.
#3) I read a post online that perhaps this kind of problem could be caused by file corruption. This sounded possible since I had at this point read about the data center move (but did not realize yet that it was not complete), so I figured I would re-upload all of the WordPress [plain/vanilla] files since the initial problem was stemming (well, so I thought) from the wp-settings.php file since that was the only place that function was defined and thus the only place it could be redeclared. So, I downloaded WordPress, uploaded the .zip, unpacked it, and THEN noticed I had just uploaded 2.9.2 and not the 2.?.? that I had before (I am pretty sure it was 2.8.?, but it might have been 2.9.1). My blog then (and still) shows:
#4) I figured this meant that, since I had not done whatever the "correct" WP update procedure is, I had just unintentionally broken WordPress. There were no important blog posts, so I figured it was fine to just try to reinstall WP then reinstall WPU. So, I dropped the WP tables from the database, deleted the entire folder containing WP, uploaded the .zip, extracted it, went to /install.php, and got:
NOW) That is when I noticed the update from Corey stating that only a couple of the servers (not including mine) had finished the move and so I put this all on hold in the hopes that the move being finished would stop the errors from occurring. It sounds like the crazy train is finally over for now and I am still getting that last error which prevents me from reinstalling WordPress 2.9.2. My only idea at this point is to try one of the cPanel one-click-install scripts and HOPE that makes a working install, then try to modify it back to my original settings (e.g. shared database).
Does anyone have any other ideas on possible courses of action, either for me or for anyone else who might run into this problem sometime?
Does anyone have any idea why this might have occurred in the first place? Do note that the original problem at the very beginning of my messing with stuff occurred after nothing I did that I know of (although admittedly I do not log off a lot while developing since I need to keep checking things like permission settings).
Thank you very much for any insight anyone might have. I will update this thread with my progress if I manage to arrange some kind of solution on my own.
