Thank you for the quick replies!
The website is hosted at hardlink hosting (i had no say in this). I did complete all the steps, but when completing step 6 that is when i get the error message. i had tried changing to url and ip address, but all had the same message.
I see now that i need to create the database in cpanel login – way over my head, but trying anyway. As my friend already has a site, will creating the database cause the current site to fail? I have uploaded the wordpress site to a subdirectory in hope that will not cause any issues either.
Any pointers will be much appreciated!
