   I don't use 1and1, but maybe the following video will give you some guidance on the general install process.

   Here is a 1and1 page on how to install WP on their servers
   http://faq.1and1.com/scripting_languages_supported/php/13.html

   hopefully it helps you

   you do not enter YOUR domain name in wp-config.php AT ALL - follow the instructions. where it says 99% chance you don't need to change this, with 1and1 you do need to change it.

   I am having a similar problem and get the following error when I try to upload the file via Dreamweaver:

   Started: 3/20/09 5:29 PM

   wordpress:wp-config.php - error occurred - An FTP error occurred - cannot put wp-config.php. Access denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem.

   File activity incomplete. 1 file(s) or folder(s) were not completed.

   Files with errors: 1
   wordpress:wp-config.php

   Finished: 3/20/09 5:29 PM

   It just won't upload it. I wish 1and1 was Cpanel then I wouldn't have this problem! Any suggestions?

   Thanks in advance!

   I got mine to work. I used the following code which is different to what wordpress suggested.

   define('DB_NAME', '80_card');

   /** MySQL database username */
   define('DB_USER', '[redacted]');

   /** MySQL database password */
   define('DB_PASSWORD', '[redacted]');

   /** MySQL hostname */
   define('DB_HOST', 'mysql');

   /** 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', '');

   Yes, the above password and login data is fake in case anyone is wondering but this is how I got wordpress to work on my site.

   @laketgr8 - I'm not sure how your issue is related to the others in this topic...

   I am having a similar problem and get the following error when I try to upload the file via Dreamweaver

   Have you tried with a real FTP client?
