   I just uploaded the wordpress packing to the server. I was reading the instructions on how to install wordpress and I found that after I created the SQL database that the string of code that should have been in the account maintenance section wasn't there. My host uses cpanel 11.23.3 build 25068. Is there any way around this?

   Thanks

   In cPanel you created a MySQL database and don't see that database, your host may have a problem, or you are exceeding the allowable number of databases.

   Might call your host.

   I can see the database's name, but that's about it. Am I supposed to be able to access the actual code?

   Please continue reading Installing WordPress. You need to create a database user and then assign that user privileges to the database. And then edit and put the correct information in wp-config.php.

   I'm sorry. I should have been more specific. I've created the database and added a user, but I can't find the connection string with the host info and user information needed to continue to the next step. It's not under the account maintenance section.

   You don't need the connection string. Place the database name, database user, and password (you have this info) and the DB_HOST (localhost) in the wp-config.php file.

   Please read Installing WordPress
