 * Hey, I’m trying to install a wordpress blog for my site’s Journal. Well for some
   reason even though according to my host the information i have entered is correct
   the error message still appears. Does anyone have any idea why. I know this is
   quite vague and if anyone would like to see the code just say so.
    Thanks Charlotte

 * You’ve flipped the “define” values you should be setting:
 * define ( ‘DB_NAME’ , ‘tooabsen_wrdp1’ ) ;
    define ( ‘DB_USER’ , ‘tooabsen_wrdp1’);
   define ( ‘DB_PASSWORD’ , ‘Yq2Ysy6l9mwC’ ) ; define ( ‘DB_HOST’ , ‘localhost’ );

 * Hi,
 * I have the same message while trying to log in:
    “It doesn’t look like you’ve
   installed WP yet. Try running install.php.”
 * All the files are uploaded on the server.
    I have put the correct values in the“
   wp-config.php” file.
 * … any idea ? Thanks 🙂

 * When opening …wp-admin/install.php, I have this message :
    “Already Installed
 * You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your
   old database tables first.”
 * …Any idea? Thanks 🙂

 * Delete the database. That will clear your old database tables . Then recreate
   a new database with the new username, password and make sure to remodify the 
   config file
