In case that you’ve created your own DB (like through CPanel) you should know the name of the DB since you had to name it. * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [21 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/config-file-settings/#post-113336) * You should be able to find your MySQL info through your hosting provider’s control panel. * Thread Starter [henrik](https://wordpress.org/support/users/henrik/) * (@henrik) * [21 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/config-file-settings/#post-113486) * thanks, I will talk to my host later then:) cheers * Thread Starter [henrik](https://wordpress.org/support/users/henrik/) * (@henrik) * [21 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/config-file-settings/#post-113919) * I have php-installed at my server now and I have fix the config file.

This is akin to saying “Doc it hurts” w/o saying WHAT hurts, or what you were doing when it started hurting(“ Doc, I was rock climbing when I fell off and landed on the ground. I fell about 20 feet or so. I think I broke my arm and it hurts like a #@#$%#$!”) Tg * Thread Starter [henrik](https://wordpress.org/support/users/henrik/) * (@henrik) * [21 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/config-file-settings/#post-113929) * okey, sorry! When I run install.php @ wordpress/wp-admin/install.php @ my internet server, I get this message at the top; wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started. I have config the file and upload the file to wordpress/ @ my internet server. * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [21 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/config-file-settings/#post-113930) * Ah, now that changes everything. #1 Did you save wp-config-sample.php as wp- config.php on your computer? IOW, do not change wp-config-sample.php’s name to wp-config.php after you upload it. #2 Did you upload wp-config.php in ASCII ( text) mode? #3 Are the permissions on wp-config.php set to 755 (CHMOD 755)? # 4 If the above don’t help, then it was probably an unzipping problem. Download WordPress again and unzip it with a different application. Then, upload all of the file and wp-config.php (created from the newly unzipped file) again. #5 If that doesn’t work either, then it’s a problem with your webhost. Please contact them. * Thread Starter [henrik](https://wordpress.org/support/users/henrik/) * (@henrik) * [21 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/config-file-settings/#post-113940) * #1 I changed the name on my computer and uploaded the file as wp-config.php # 2 I uploaded the file in “binary” mode. #3 I don’t understand what you mean?: $ * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [21 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/config-file-settings/#post-113941) * Hm, don’t worry about #2 yet, solving #3 will probably fix it. Podz has some tutorials for how to CHMOD with the various FTP apps here: [http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/ftp/](http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/ftp/) As Podz would prefer that you use FileZilla as your FTP app, there is ma complete tutorial for using the app to install WordPress here: [http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/FileZilla/](http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/FileZilla/) * Thread Starter [henrik](https://wordpress.org/support/users/henrik/) * (@henrik) * [21 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/config-file-settings/#post-113942) * I have changed the mod to 766 for the config file and 666 for the index file, but I still get the same problem.

That looks like either a corrupted file, or a file uploaded as Binary. * [Mark (podz)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/podz/) * (@podz) * [21 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/config-file-settings/#post-113944) * Try this ? PHP Info Paste this into a new Notepad / BBEdit file `` Save as ‘info.php’ Upload to server. Visit in your browser (www.example.com/ info.php) That will give you info about your php version * Thread Starter [henrik](https://wordpress.org/support/users/henrik/) * (@henrik) * [21 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/config-file-settings/#post-113945) * Apache/1.3.33 MySQL 4.0.22 phpMyAdmin 2.2.3 Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 35 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/config-file-settings/page/2/?output_format=md) [3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/config-file-settings/page/3/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/config-file-settings/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘config file settings.’ is closed to new replies. * In: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) * 35 replies * 5 participants * Last reply from: [henrik](https://wordpress.org/support/users/henrik/) * Last activity: [21 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/config-file-settings/page/3/#post-114002) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
