hehehehe…. no. You can use just one.
Check your wp-config.php file, make sure the db connection information is correct. And also make sure the file is in the main wp install folder.

Thanks for not laughing too hard 🙂
Well, yeah, the wp-config.php file is in the wordpress foler in the html folder of my ftp server. I just renamed it. Was I supposed to duplicate it and leave the one with ‘sample’ in it there? Otherwise my config info is:
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘crowndozen_com_-_db’); // The name of the database
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘shanebryant’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘thepasswordiuse’); // …and password
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
Is there anything else that could be causing the issue? I feel like it’ sbecause I don’t have the CONTENTS of the folder uploaded intot he main directory, but I want to keep them in a seperate foler while I install.test/design it, ya know?
This is just a shot in the dark, but can a DB name contain underscores and hyphens?
Also, I’m pretty sure if you’re using a database that has other stuff in it, you’ll need to specify the table prefix elsewhere. This is true if you do two WP installs on one database, so I assume it’s true if you’re running MT and WP. For directions, see http://wiki.wordpress.org/MultipleBlogs.
<i>This is just a shot in the dark, but can a DB name contain underscores and hyphens?</i>
DB names can certainly have underscores (mine does). Not sure about hyphens.
Hypens are fine too – mine have underscores and hyphens.
You say you don’t have the ‘Contents’ of the folder also uploaded ?
I would imagine that install.php looks for the config information, then also involves other files – maybe it needs one that isn’t there ?
And is your database actually called ‘db’ ?
I’ve always been prompted for a name – unless you actually chose ‘db’ ?
