   When I go to http://oceansaway.org/wp/wp-admin/install.php , I cannot install WordPress but it says that the database set up could be wrong.

   I don't know why!

   This is what I put
   

   define('oceansaw_wordpress', 'wordpress');    // The name of the database
   define('oceansaw_lina', 'username');     // Your MySQL username
   define('CENSORED', 'password'); // ...and password
   define('localhost', 'localhost');    // 99% chance you won't need to change this value

   in the wp-config.php file.

   Any help?

   You're supposed to replace the "wordpress", "username". etc. NOT the "DB_USER", "DB_PASS" etc.

   Open up wp-config-smaple.php and change the other values (the SECOND one, in lowercase letters). The DB_ stuff is what builds your tables.

   Save it as wp-config.php

   Aaaaha haha, okay thank you so much!
   And yes, I do feel pretty damn stupid now. :D

   It still doesn't work, though! :(
   And I am sure that the database server is up and running because other programs using databases on the same server work perfectly fine.

   What else could be wrong with it?

   one question. I forgot to open and save as for the wp-sample.config file. Instead i renamed it straightaway and after the modification, i save it. would that be a problem
   for the failure of my inition of installation ?

   That shouldn't matter.

   Please review Installing_WordPress.
