   I'm creating a new website to replace old one and hosted on H-Sphere. When I go into WP template I purchased, to rename the wp-config-sample.php (as mentioned in the tutorials) I can't find file. I've found some of the files around it that I've seen in tutorials, such as wp-includes, but not that file. I'm new at this and need some direction!

   The wp-config file shouldn't be in a theme you purchase, it would be in the root directory of your WordPress installation, because it is a list of settings specific to your installation.

   See http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php for detailed information and the sample code.

   Isn't the root directory part of what I downloaded from WordPress? Or are you saying it's already on H-Sphere as part of the directory for my old site and that I need to rename it for WordPress?

   Thanks for help.

   The wp-config.php file would be part of your WordPress installation, and would be in the directory in which WordPress is installed.
