 * HI ALl,
    I am trying to install 4.0 I downloaded the 4.0 unzipped and began to
   rename the config php file as instructed. Where I was then told to change some
   database names. I got confused there.
 * this is the link I was following along
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#Famous_5-Minute_Install](http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#Famous_5-Minute_Install)
 * Questions:
    what parts do I edit? The one’s in between the ‘ & ‘ marks? Like 
   the first one here asks DB_NAME, do i change that too? or just the ‘database_name_here’?
   And is that where I put in my example.org site name? or just use example and 
   do not need the extension?
 * // ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
    /** The
   name of the database for WordPress */ define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘database_name_here’);
 * Username? Is that my login name for my server?
 * /** MySQL database username */
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘username_here’);
 * /** MySQL database password */
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘password_here’);
 * Thanks for any direction on this appreciate it

 * I’m also having similar trouble net com.
 * When I enter my IP address/wordpress to try and install wordpress, I keep getting
   the error ‘can’t write to the wp-config.php file and to check the details entered
   into the required fields, which I have done by going over the config file.
 * Anyone know how to resolve?
 * Thanks

 * I resolved this on my own. The trick is to not mess with the WP-setup-config.
   php
    just upload log into your manager and run there. You will need to know some
   particulars after setting up a database, etc.
