 * I have uploaded Word Press to my public_html folder on my site, within a directory
   named Personal and blog1 -so it looks like so:
 * [http://www.whiplashdesign.com/Personal/blog1/wp-admin/install.php](http://www.whiplashdesign.com/Personal/blog1/wp-admin/install.php)
 * I have done, re-done, re-done again the wp-config.php file. I even talked to 
   my ISP to be sure I have the right settings, and to be double sure I have mysql
   access with those settings.
 * But – it still won’t “install.” Am I officially going mad? Tis telling me that
   it cannot connect to the server: “Error establishing a database connection”

 * Did you delete it, because it isn’t finding that folder for me.
 * But if it is giving you a database connection error, then your config isn’t right,
   or your database isn’t working, or something.
 * Weird, the whole page is bold!
