 * I don’t understand what i’m doing wrong.
    I get an error message Warning: main(/
   home/mmmscor/public_html/wp-settings.php): failed to open stream: No such file
   or directory in /home/mmmscor/public_html/wp-config.php on line 20
 * Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required ‘/home/mmmscor/public_html/wp-settings.
   php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/mmmscor/public_html/
   wp-config.php on line 20
    don’t know what my database connection details are 
   does anything within the wp-config.php need to be modified before i upload it
   to my server?

 * Can you check to see if you have the wp-settings.php file in the same directory
   as the index.php and wp-config.php. If not, can you upload that from the archive
   to your webhost and try again.

 * Question, I need to fill out the wp-config.php data info before uploading however
   I am unsure where to fill out the info? Here’s a sample below could you highlight
   what needs to be modified? Also where exactly do I put it does it go inside the
   www folder or the public folder? Do I need to up load the whole word press folder
   and if so to what directory? Thewp-settings.php and index.php goes into the same
   dir along with the wp-config but what dir is that?
 * thank you

 * now that your db password has been posted here for the “world” to see, you might
   want to change it on your host (and in your wp-config file).
