Installation step 3

Most of the details in there can only be filled with information that you have access to. You’ll probably have to talk with your host and get some help from them as they can show you exactly where to click to get the information you need.

thank you

when I put in the information, what exactly do I cut out and replace?

define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

You shouldn’t have to touch those values as those are usually the default values used by the database.

OK, but do I put the information in between the last apostrophy like I have here?

define(‘DB_USER’, ‘Administrator’); // Your MySQL username

Yes that’s correct.

youve been great help, thanks again

Hey Jeremy, the web host I am using has an install process for Word Press. However, their path leads to an outdated version of wordpress. Can I get an updated http link to the most current wordPress version.

I’m using godaddy’s database…is there a trick getting the wp-config.php to find the database…I set the database and checked the user and passwords

“
Error establishing a database connection

This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost. This could mean your host’s database server is down.

* Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
* Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
* Are you sure that the database server is running?

Ok you have to add…the host name which on godaddy is something like…. “h50mysql21.secureserver.net”
