 * Hi Guys
 * I’m an absolute beginner to WordPress and I would GREATLY appreciate any help
   given.
 * I have a host that supports all the requirements for WordPress > In my Control
   Panel, I have created a MySQL Database and added a user to it (username, password
   and dba permission). I have written down all the details for that user and the
   database name and database host ..etc
 * Now I don’t know where to go from here ! I have looked at this page { [http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php](http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php)}
   but I can’t get my head around it at all !! Where is this file called [ wp-config.
   php ] ??? and I’m a n00b, I can’t be creating it myself ! can I ?
 * Some kind person please help 🙁
 * Thank You.
 * Ciwan
