 * Hi
 * I have gone through all the steps outlined, created a sub directory in my site**
   stained-glass-mosaic-blog** and uploaded the wordpress folder there. I can see
   them in the wordpress folder in my cpanel
 * However when i go to the run the install script at the url:
 * **[http://my](http://my) site.com/stained-glass-mosaic-blog/wp-admin/install.
   php**
 * It says:
 * The requested URL /stained-glass-mosaic-blog/wp-admin/install.php was not found
   on this server.
 * Any ideas what the issue is?
 * Cheers

 * Could be you have the files uploaded into the wrong place.
 * If you have a subfolder called stained-glass-mosaic-blog under the public_html
   folder then you should have folders such as wp-admin/wp-content/wp-includes in
   that subfolder. I’m guessing you have a folder called wordpress under stained-
   glass-mosaic-blog.

 * Hi Michael
    yes i uploaded the ‘WordPress’ folder into the ‘stained-glass-mosaic-
   blog’ folder. So i should have renamed it from ‘WordPress’ to ‘stained-glass-
   mosaic-blog’ and just uploaded the whole folder i assume?

 * Seem to have got it uploaded ok .
    But now when i go to: stained-glass-mosaic-
   blog/wp-admin/install.php
 * it says: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/upigi/public_html/
   stained-glass-mosaic-blog/wp-config.php on line 31
    When i check line 31 it has
   this code:
 * define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
 * Is this wrong?

 * Go back to the wp-config-sample.php file and try re-building your wp-config.php
   file again. You see to have introduced an error into the file.

 * Im confused abou the wp-config file.
 * Should it just be the following **exactly** like this, with the text in bold 
   changed to my individual settings? :
 * // ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
    /** The
   name of the database for WordPress */ define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘**putyourdbnamehere**‘);
 * /** MySQL database username */
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘**usernamehere**‘);
 * /** MySQL database password */
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘**yourpasswordhere**‘);
 * /** MySQL hostname */
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘**localhost**‘);

 * Yes. But instead of creating the wp-config.php yourself, just visit wp-admin/
   install.php and WordPress will ask you for the database information and create
   a wp-config.php for you.
