Yes to your first question.
Tried localhost still get the same results.

define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress');    // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'admin');     // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', '12345'); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost:8889');    // 99% chance you won't need to change this value

If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.

i tried this and I get error

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?

If you’re unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.

Thanks

OK Thanks for the inFo.

I would too like to design my own wp-theme but, I don’t know pHp well enough yet. I just started reading and doing online tutorials 2 days ago.

But to mOd someone else’s theme is this c00l to do ?

Got-it THANKS for the help !

yes, will this mess with the mysql data base ?

Well I have read this but this doesn’t tell me where to put the template and its content so the could be viewed on the web. This was a auto-install everything is there, I just don’t know what the heck I’m doing.

Sorry, this is all new to me.
