• Hi there

    I am having a problem with the install. I currently run a mysql and php database on my current server, no problems at all. I have dumped the word press files into a directory on the same server(www.williecreekpearls.com.au/BLOG) that is run through my host, but i’m getting the error page. I have triple checked everything, password and username. I know it is something im doing wrong, just haven’t seen the problem yet. And im a designer, not the best developer in the world so im kinda stuck.Any help would be appreciated. This is what i have:

    <?php
    // ** MySQL settings ** //
    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘http://www.williecreekpearls.com.au/BLOG&#8217;); // The name of the database
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘williecreek’); // Your MySQL username
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘BIGp34rls’); // …and password
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
    define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
    define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

    // You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix
    $table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

    // Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
    // chosen language must be installed to wp-content/languages.
    // For example, install de.mo to wp-content/languages and set WPLANG to ‘de’
    // to enable German language support.
    define (‘WPLANG’, ”);

    /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

    define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);
    require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.php’);
    ?>

    The localhost command should just point to this address mysql.web.westnet.com.au? I shouldn’t have to put this in right?

    Thanks

    Aaron

    don’t worry figured it out, for anyone else having problems, i’d say there is a 50/50 chance you will have to change you localhost! I did and thats what it was, oh and delete

    define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
    define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

    bye

    I don’t think this would ever work:
    define('DB_NAME', 'http://www.williecreekpearls.com.au/BLOG');
