    Hello there,

    I’m very, very new to all of this and would like to say thanks in advance for your help. I’m getting this message:

    <?php
    define(‘WP_INSTALLING’, true);
    if (!file_exists(‘../wp-config.php’))
    die(“There doesn’t seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started. Need more help? We got it. You can create a wp-config.php file through a web interface, but this doesn’t work for all server setups. The safest way is to manually create the file.”);

    when trying to install. Can anyone help me with this? Thank you again,

    April

  • You have to edit your wp-config-sample.php to reflect your database info.
    Then you need to rename it to wp-config.php and upload it to your WP root.

    Hi again,

    Just wanted to say thanks and to let you know that this was a problem with my host. I called them and he noticed that .php seemed not to be working and found out why. He enabled it and everything seems to be working fine now. Thank you again,
