   Hi you all guys
   I'm just new to this and I'm configuring WP in my host server.
   I've this trouble setting the route in my wp-config.php
   By default it says let the 'localhost', but what if i'm using http://www.mydomain/blog for upload my new blog?
   Thus, i've set up to '/blog' but I'm not a developer so my PHP knowlegde is really poor.
   I'm still seeing an error page :(
   Please, if you know how can I fix this give me a help.
   Thanks in advance!
   Kati

   The DB_HOST is not your path to your blog but rather the connection for the database. Most hosts use localhost but some do not. It should tell you somewhere where your databases are listed.
   If you can't find it contact your host to be sure.

   most of the time itz Localhost, but some time it may be a IP address. Check your database in Control Panel. There you'll find an IP address. Use it for localhost. It works for me! :D

   Do not use ip addresses unless specifically told to do so by host. If they change ip of mysql server your blog will no longer work.

   DB_HOST with webhost looks something like this
   **mysql**.nameofwebhostornot.com
   Some have numbers and text before or after the mysql
   Good luck.
