So I tried to do the pmachine to wordpress conversion… Anyone trying to look at my site from the straight home URL noticed some stuff was up. First of all it overwrote my index.html file. So that is gone. I uninstalled wordpress but now I have to dig up an old copy of the index.html file and reupload from my PC later. Until then all my file structure is up for the whole world to see.

Second of all… NOTHING transferred… AT ALL…

instead I got this wonderful garbage:

I thought maybe I installed to the wrong folder – so I tried installing WP in the same folder as Pmachine… which brought up more garbage:

“Install WordPress (2/3)
The installation can not be completed:
– This directory already exists or the directory field is empty
Click on the browser’s Back button to fix reported errors.”

ugh…..
