Looks like you have not uploaded all the necessary files.
The files and folders on the server should look like this:

thanks for the help, but now its says
We’re having a little trouble selecting the proper database for WordPress.
Are you sure it exists?
Your database name is currently specified as DB_NAME. Is this correct?
On some systems the name of your database is prefixed with your username, so it would be like username_wordpress. Could that be the problem?
i have tried changing the config file 100 times to make sure it is set right…i am at witts end with this thing about now
Do you have phpmyadmin on your server ?
If so, the details are :
– the dbname will be shown there
– the dbusername will be across the top of the screen before the @
– the last thing in wp-config will be the bit after the @

Yes i do….
here is what i get now
Error establishing a database connection! This probably means that the connection information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect. Double check it and try again.
Are you sure you have the correct user/password?
Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
Are you sure that the database server is running?
db name is wordpress01
username is set correctly and password is in along with server name that its running on
i am able to log in to php admin and the database is there although no tables or anything there yet?

this is what it says across the top
MySQL 4.0.15-log running on mysql06.powweb.com as joenbritt@66.152.97.135
mysql06.powweb.com is the host correct?
host are the numbers after the @ (I reckon)

// ** MySQL settings ** //
define(‘DB_name’, ‘wordpress01’); // The name of the database
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘joenbritt’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘xxxxxx’); // …and password
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘66.152.97.135’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
thats whats in there and get the same answer

In phpyadmin, have you created the database ‘wordpress01’ ?
DB_name should be DB_NAME

Have you tried with a capitalised NAME as above ?
Everything else seems okay.
