   php file i have changed this:
 * define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘worldpress’); // The name of the database
    define(‘DB_USER’,‘
   root’); // Your MySQL username define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘worldpress’); // …and password
   define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t
 * **When I trying to install with install.php this comming up: **
 * wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started. Need more help? We
   got it. You can create a wp-config.php file through a web interface, but this
   doesn’t work for all server setups. The safest way is to manually create the 
   file.”, “WordPress › Error”); } require_once(‘../wp-config.php’); require_once(‘./
   upgrade-functions.php’); if (isset($_GET[‘step’])) $step = $_GET[‘step’]; else

 * it looks like wp installed itself (mostly), but broke along the way, i would 
   clean out (delete/drop) all tables in the database (also make sure your db user
   has correct permissions), then wipe out all of the WP files in your htdocs/www
   directory (including wp-config.php), then start over with a fresh set of WP files,
   including the creation of a new wp-config.php from wp-config-sample.php

 * Looks to me like you have not enabled PHP on the webserver.
