   Hey Guys, Im having some problems here. Just uploaded wordpress to my root directory and it is coming up saying that the info in my wp-config file is incorrect. Now I dont have too much experience with mysql so im having some troubles.

   I am running my hosting through GoDaddy and for mysql databases im using phpMyAdmin now in the Word Press installation guide it said to create a username and password, as far as I can tell there is no option allowing me to do this, so I have nothing really to put into my wp-config file.

   Any suggestions guys?

   Your host control panel should have something about databases. You need to create one and then a username/password which has access to it. If you don't know how, I suggest contacting your host and requesting that they do this for you (if you have permission to create/use databases - otherwise you'll need to sign up for that).

   // ** MySQL settings ** //
   define('DB_NAME', 'dbusernam_dbname');    // The name of the database
   define('DB_USER', 'dbusername_dbuser');     // Your MySQL username
   define('DB_PASSWORD', 'your_password'); // ...and password
   define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');    // 99% chance you won't need to change this value
   define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
   define('DB_COLLATE', '');

   Those are the lines in you config.php file which you need to edit and then re-upload to your server.
