Support » Installing WordPress » Installation Square 1

  • This is my first experience creating a blog and can’t even answer the questions contained in wp-config-sample. I do have a domain/website for the block and am just trying to begin the installation of Word Press (WP). So here are my questions:
    (1) What DB are they talking about/ I assume DB means database but I don’t think I have created one. If WP will create one as part of the installation can I name iot anything and do you have any tips about what to name it.
    (2) DB User name. Do I make that up or is it the same user I use for my website log in?
    (3) DB Password: Do I make that up or is it the same password that I use the same one that I use for my CP/Host?
    (4) DB host: What is that?

    Sorry about being so dumb!

    I’m 73. Maybe this is my senior moment

    Thanks for your help,

    Gary B

  • Gary, who is your host?

    The creation of the database, database user (and password) is usually done through your hosting control panel.

    If you don’t see the a way to create a database and a user, then your host might be able to shed some light on this.
