 * Hi there,
 * I’m doing my first steps and reached the first stop … :o)
 * This is my “wp-config.php”, I hope I did everything the right way:
    ################################################
   <?php // ** MySQL settings ** // define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘db248102021’); // The name
   of the database define(‘DB_USER’, ‘dbo248102021’); // Your MySQL username define(‘
   DB_PASSWORD’, ‘……….’); // …and password define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘db1530.1und1.de’);//
   99% chance you won’t need to change this value define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’); 
   define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);
 * // Change SECRET_KEY to a unique phrase. You won’t have to remember it later,
   //
   so make it long and complicated. You can visit [http://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.0/](http://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.0/)//
   to get a secret key generated for you, or just make something up. define(‘SECRET_KEY’,‘{
   W}d05m>;aHxD8:[LL:t<3pFmmnJ4{XF{1cLW~\’tPhd $q3ylaD~NKQ}V!%ED&y’); // Change 
   this to a unique phrase.
 * // 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’, ‘de’);
 * /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
 * define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);
    require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.
   php’); ?> ################################################ Now I wanted to see
   the result, but when opening the address
 * **[http://www.queensgambit.com/go/wp-config.php](http://www.queensgambit.com/go/wp-config.php)**
 * the following sentence is the only result:
 * _Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/homepages/
   42/d93465135/htdocs/go/wp-settings.php’ (include\_path=’.:/usr/lib/php’) in /
   homepages/42/d93465135/htdocs/go/wp-config.php on line 27_
 * What does it mean? And how can I solve the problem?
 * Thanks for any support! :o)

 * If you haven’t already done this, use FILEZILLA to delete the WordPress files(
   keep wp-config.php) then use FILEZILLA to reupload the WordPress files.
