 * Ok… so i followed the instructions and downloaded the latest wordpress files 
   then ftp’d them to my hosting space and everything was going great. I created
   a database and then logged in with the details but it is set to No Privileges.
   I have tried everything possible to assign privileges but this is the point where
   i am falling over.
 * My homepage should be [http://flipwebdesign.awardspace.com/](http://flipwebdesign.awardspace.com/)
   but when i load that i get an error establishing a connection message… what am
   i missing? is it the No Privileges thing or have i missed a vital piece of the
   pie?
 * Any technical help appreciated… Thanks.

 * At awardspace.com you don’t need to (or really can) set the database privileges.
   Just create the database and complete the wp-config.php fields. Database name
   and database user are one-and-the-same. After you create the database you will
   see the database host/server listed (e.g. fdb1.awardspace.com).
 * After completing wp-config.php just do the wp-admin/install.php to complete the
   installation.
