WordPress.org

   I setup the config file and uploaded it.
   I tried so many variations of user names and passwords and I keep getting a blank page.

   My version of Plesk does not have a one-click install or application vault.

   Is there something I'm missing here.
   My clients site has been day for a day now.

   I don't mind giving my database info if that's what it takes to get this working.
   In Plesk it says - database name: donleach_wp and database server: db.livewireis.com:3306

   Which one of these do input into:
   define('DB_NAME', 'database_name_here');

   I created a user: jenanddon
   I put that into: define('DB_USER', 'username_here');

   For that new user my password is: Dogoffice

   So my wp-config.php reads:

   // ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
   /** The name of the database for WordPress */
   define('DB_NAME', 'donleach_wp');

   /** MySQL database username */
   define('DB_USER', 'jenanddon');

   /** MySQL database password */
   define('DB_PASSWORD', 'Dogoffice1');

   /** MySQL hostname */
   define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');

   /** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
   define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');

   /** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */
   define('DB_COLLATE', '');

   WHAT AM I MISSING HERE?
   Am I supposed to the DB_HOST to something instead of"localhost"?

   Assistance is appreciated

   jknetdesign,

   I suggest you to delete this database and create a new different one, with different name, different username and password (for security reasons). Here are the example lines of wp-config.php for you:

   define('DB_NAME', 'donleach_wp');
   define('DB_USER', 'jenanddon');
   define('DB_PASSWORD', 'Dogoffice1');
   define('DB_HOST', 'db.livewireis.com');

   Use server name instead of localhost. That probably is the source of a problem.
