    Hi

    Someone gave me a website, it was on some different server. i have uploaded all the website + database on new server (freehostia)
    Now site is on, but if i click on some article its not working ?
    i think either database is missing ? or some other problem

    also how to create a control page/admin page from where i can easily upload more articles, its on WP theme

    who said this is a db problem?
    it should be a rewrite problem

    Well from looking at the site I can see clearly the database information is "there" and all working (connection etc), why?

    Because I can see Titles of articles and the content of them, but just can't view the page, so it's definitly a rewrite problem with the URL's.

    Can you post the contents of your .htaccess file? I'll have a look.

    It has an admin section as it's wordpress see here: http://voiceofdepression.com/wp-login.php

    Did the guy give you the login info?

    Ah, simple. You say there is no ".htaccess" file, that's your problem. Copy one from another of your wordpress sites.

    Regarding the password you can access the database, then re-hash a pass and insert that.

    Are you able to find where in the database the admin info is kept? (I never have used wordpress, but I can find out it you like) or maybe someone else can guide you from there.

    But get the .htaccess file copied and you should be able to view articles:)
