Delete the wp-config.php and click on the install.php.
wordpress will generate this file for you, by accepting your input. try this option.
Thanks.
If you have cpanel / plesk / vdeck or ensim, there are guides here which will help:

Ok I deleted wp-config.php from my server…
This is what I got then:
There doesn’t seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started. Need more help? We got it. You can create a wp-config.php file through a web interface, but this doesn’t work for all server setups. The safest way is to manually create the file.
So I guess that is not the solution…Shall I do something at MySQL too? I have a database there, so I thought just to write all the info to access that into the wp-config.php? Which is what I did…Please help
You didn’t answer my point ?
I am sorry, I do not even understand what you mean. I do not have cpanel / plesk / vdeck or ensim.
What I have is an ordinary ftp with which I have uploaded the files, and a database MySQL. I was being told that it should be really easy to install wordpress, but I cant even get into the install.php page without an error:(
*I have a database
*I have uploaded all the files to my server
I still do not get it….
I know this sounds obvious, but did you edit your wp-config.php file before uploading it?
Yes I did, I put in all the information to access my database. Ie the same username, password and the name of my database. This is what it looks like, does it look right?
<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘dogue_nu’); // The name of the database
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘dogue.nu’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘*****’); // …and password
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
I really don’t know what else to say. You could try contacting your host to see if there is a problem with the database. Sorry, and I hope someone else can help you out.
Ok, but it looks right to you? I am starting to think I am the 1% regarding the “localhost”…Any suggestions on what to put there instead?
Tks for helping
I think I got it?! Have a look:
http://dogue.nu/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php
I changed the localhost to mysql03.cliche.se…was it that simple?
Guess not…Now I get this:
Already Installed
You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first.
So what do I do now? Tks again:)
Download wp-config.php
Open it
Find this line:
$table_prefix = 'wp_'
and change it to
$table_prefix = 'wp2_'
and your install should be good 🙂
Great, tks a million! Seems to work now, if not I will come back:)
Tks again!
