    Because I don’t know how to do that, isn’t there any free finished databases?

    You want your posts or someone elses? I’d wager you’d rather have your own posts!

    Yea, but someone must have an empty one, as a basic file?

    It really depends on who your web host is. Podz guides will help too.

    Here’s some instructions to find the phpmadmin where you can create the database probably

    If you point WP to your empty database then it will create the database for you. I think you’re confusing yourself.

    For a fresh/new/first install you don’t need to upload a file to create the database, WP will do this, all you have to do is create a blank database, then enter the correct details into wp-config.php so WP can find it, and WP will do the rest for you.

    Hope that helps.

    ok, but How do I create an empty database, just so I have the file. (Mac-user)

    You can do it via command line:

    1. open a shell
    2. log in to mysql as root: mysql -u root -p (enter your pw then)
    3. create a database with create database cazedb01;
    4. create a user + pw and grant rights on the db: grant all on cazedb01.* to caze01@localhost identified by 'yourpassword';
    5. quit MySQL with quit;
    6. Enter the values into your wp-config.php

    Done! You can now start the install.php script and let it do its magic.

    okay, who is hosting your website? you typically need to go through your hosting control panel, or through phpMyAdmin or something to create a database. most hosting companies give you a link to create a MySQL database and all you have to do is enter the database name, username, and password and click “create” or something like that.

    a database isn’t “an empty file” – i think you’re a bit confused there. contact your hosting company to help you set it up…
