phpmyadmin trouble

    I am quite new to WP and I really need some help getting started.

    In phpmyadmin on my server I am not able to do what the installation guide tells me about privileges. It says: “No privileges”

    But I made a database, i created a user with dba-access to it and i uploaded the files to my ftp, edited the wp-config.php with my own info and so on.

    When i try to install it says it needs wp-config.php and there’s a lot of strange symbols (i access the install.php directly from the ftp because i can’t access the files from a web browser). So the installation guide mentions that it could be a php-issue on my server, but my provider tells me everything should be working fine.

    So my question is, do I need to change something in phpmyadmin with tables, my database or anything?

    I know I’m a little short on info here but if anyone has a good idea of what I’m talking about please let me know.

    ANY suggestions are apreciated!

    (Sorry for the poor english..)

    “because i can’t access the files from a web browser)”
    If you cannot do that, then you cannot see the blog anyway.

    Can you get a better host ?

    What is ‘dba-access’ ?

    Well i upload the files to the root of my website via ftp. But if i try to access the same files using http://… it says it can’t be found on the server. The files are there tho’.

    dba-access is just all rights available.

    I just registered my domain, and I would rather want to stick with this host. I think it might be me who’s the problem and not my host. 😀

    If you have just registered the domain, and the DNS is propagating, you could wait ~24 hours and then try ?

    No.. I’ve had the domain for some days now. That’s not it.

    “upload the files to the root of my website “

    Okay – have you uploaded them outside of the web directory ?

    Look for
    public_html
    mainwebsite_html
    http_docs
    www

    Your files go inside one of those, not next to them.
    is that the problem ?

    Hmm i guess that could be the problem. Haven’t thought about it before.

    If there are no such dirs, can I just make one myself and use that as ‘root’?

    Okay I wasn’t as dumb as I thought..

    The ‘localhost’ thing in the wp-config.php had to be changed to something else.

    Thanks for the help anyway!
