Installation manuals

Manuals? Heck. Don’t confuse yourself yet. There is a really good short simple readme. htm in the download. For the install, read that and follow it and you should be fine. Any probs do post again. Welcome to WP.

I don’t know how to continue from here. What do they mean by the ‘name of the database’? and ‘MySQL username’? Am I supposed to type over these words and save again as wp-config.php?
?php
/** WordPress’s config file **/
/** https://www.ads-software.com/ **/
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’); // The name of the database
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘username’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘password’); // …and password
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple blogs in a single database.
$table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // example: ‘wp_’ or ‘b2’ or ‘mylogin_’
// Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
// chosen language must be installed to wp-includes/languages.
// For example, install de.mo to wp-includes/languages and set WPLANG to ‘de’
// to enable German language support.
define (‘WPLANG’, ”);
/* Stop editing */
$server = DB_HOST;
$loginsql = DB_USER;
$passsql = DB_PASSWORD;
$base = DB_NAME;
define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);
// Get everything else
require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.php’);
?>

You need to set up a MySQL database first, Inky, then insert the details accordingly and save as wp-config.php.
As far as setting up your MySQL database goes…. I suggest you ask your hosting provider or check out their FAQ.
