fordageHi Please excuse me...I admit I have pretty much no idea what I'm doing. I need to be walked through this in baby steps. Any one out there with a little patience...gratitude to you!
Here's my message I receive when I click on the:
'/wp-admin/install.php' from the read me page.
--------------------------
ERROR: %s'), $error); ?>
checked="checked" />
'.__('Already Installed').'
'.__('You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first.').'
');} switch($step) { case 0: case 1: // in case people are directly linking to this display_header(); ?>

error) ) wp_die($wpdb->error->get_error_message()); display_header(); // Fill in the data we gathered $weblog_title = isset($_POST['weblog_title']) ? stripslashes($_POST['weblog_title']) : ''; $admin_email = isset($_POST['admin_email']) ? stripslashes($_POST['admin_email']) : ''; $public = isset($_POST['blog_public']) ? (int) $_POST['blog_public'] : 0; // check e-mail address $error = false; if (empty($admin_email)) { // TODO: poka-yoke display_setup_form( __('you must provide an e-mail address.') ); $error = true; } else if (!is_email($admin_email)) { // TODO: poka-yoke display_setup_form( __('that isn’t a valid e-mail address. E-mail addresses look like: username@example.com') ); $error = true; } if ( $error === false ) { $wpdb->show_errors(); $result = wp_install($weblog_title, 'admin', $admin_email, $public); extract($result, EXTR_SKIP); ?>
admin
'. $password .'
'; } echo '
'. $password_message .'
'; ?>

When I click on the my site's url I receive a message that looks like this:
Error establishing a database connection
--------------
I have no idea where I start blogging from or what passwords to use where. I have a GoDaddy SQL database set-up.
I have read through what feels like a million blogs over the past 2 days. It is just not apparent to me. I am not a back-end designer.
Any info helpful.
I believe my errors lie in this section of my 'wp-config.php':
// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'Victoria Centre for Natural Health');
/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'VCNH');
/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'my actual password used here');
/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
/** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */
define('DB_COLLATE', '');
???
Thank-you.
