define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress'); // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'username'); // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password'); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); //
Okay….
You should already, from your host, have a password so you can access mySQL.
So, create a new database – the name does not matter.
Once it is created, you should see a ‘Success!’ message or simlar, and the name of your new database will be shown.
That’s what goes on the top line above.
The username, is your login name to mySQL – this could well be the same as your normal cpanel name.
The password, which you’ve already used, goes on line 3
CHMOD ?
Nope, not yet.
The uploads folder, and some other need altering to 666:
index.php
wp-comments.php
wp-layout.css
wp-comments-popup.php
will do for starters 🙂

Ok, got the MySQL DB stuff figured out but I’m getting this:
http://herbrokentoy.com/clog/wp-admin/install.php
I’m sorry I’m such trouble, I just have no idea what I’m doing. 🙁
That’s a pretty wide error message, and means that something is still wrong.
Is there any way through your cpanel that you can determine any parts of the info needed with absolute certainty ?
Check that when you have created your database, that the host has not, by default, put something on the beginning
IE, you created ‘clog’ and your host has not turned it into ‘great_hosting_clog’

I swear this is all greek to me. 🙁
Ok, the database name is herbrokentoycom, so where do I go from there? (clog was just the name of
the folder and is obviously not the correct thing to have)
email me and we’ll see what we can do ?
