 * Hello,
    I apologize for the dumb question, but I am a total beginner… I have 
   to modify the file wp-config, but I am not sure about:
 * define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘putyourdbnamehere’); // The name of the database
 * What database?
 * define(‘DB_USER’, ‘usernamehere’); // Your MySQL username
 * what username?
 * I am not sure that I understand what and where the database is.
    Can anyone help
   me with that? Thanks!
