• I am using Bravenet paid hosting. They have PHP myAdmin and MySQL services. I need to upload WordPress to my root dir. and get it to run. I have tried to follow the 5-minute famous WordPress install and I have placed the unzipped folder in the root(or at least I think I did)in my host. I can’t get the wp-config.php file to install and here is the source code of that file:

    // ** MySQL settings ** //
    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’); // The name of the database
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘3109310253’); // Your MySQL username
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘xxxxxx’); // …and password
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

    // You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix
    $table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

    // Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
    // chosen language must be installed to wp-includes/languages.
    // For example, install de.mo to wp-includes/languages and set WPLANG to ‘de’
    // to enable German language support.
    define (‘WPLANG’, ”);

    /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

    define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);
    require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.php’);
    ?>

    (I changed my actual password to xxxxx in this page to protect my site, but perhaps someone can tell from the rest if it’s right or wrong? Thanks for the help!

    Please forgive my relative ignorance as I am learning this process and am absolutely sure I must has messed up inputing something in this source or didn’t put enough data in. I need someone to help me and after placing messages in several forums and in Bravenet and a different post here, I can’t believe that all of you bright coders can’t help me out. I see wonderful things happening here everyday! If you can help me get themes working I would be forever in your debt!

  • I don’t know about bravenet, but most hosts won’t have “wordpress” as the database name….

    Does bravenet give you some sort of control panel? If so, you should maybe find a link to “mySQL databases”. Clicking that link should show you what databases you have installed, their actual names, and the usernames for them. If you don’t have a database installed then you have to create one, create a user, add the user to the database, THEN install wp using the info for that database.

    When I log into MySQL I have no privileges to create any databases. I have a number assigned as my database and when I click on that, the only option I have is to add a table to my database and it asks how many fields. I didn’t think this was what I was to do.

    No, you don’t have to create any tables.
    WHat is the name of the database? Is it a number?
    Then you should move that number in the config file up in the DB name and find out what your username is.
