 * Am very new to all this, but i think i pretty much followed the guides to the
   letter within reason.
 * I just purchased my own hosting, and uploaded all the files as required.
    The
   problem is, when i go to run the /wp-admin/install.php i get this error.
 * Warning: define() expects at least 2 parameters, 1 given in /home006/sub033/sc74455-
   MVTA/silentchaos.co.uk/gaming/wp-config.php on line 45

 * We were able to connect to the database server (which means your username and
   password is okay) but not able to select the putyourdbnamehere database.
 * When i try look and find the lines in the wp-config as far as i can tell it’s
   the “define” lines where it said to add keys, i even used the link provided to
   produce and added them, is there something extra am missing here?
 * thanks for helping a noob :]

 * Delete the wp-config.php file, then just visit wp-admin/install.php and let it
   ask you the necessary questions and it will then create wp-config.php itself.
