 * This is my first attempt to use WordPress and for some unkown reason I am having
   a problem?
    Following is the info contained in my wp-cofig.php file [Note I changed
   the entries for security reasons]
 * (1) define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘1abc_def’); define(‘DB_USER’, ‘fjp800’); define(‘DB_PASSWORD’,‘
   8383’); define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’); define(‘
   DB_COLLATE’, ”); define(‘AUTH_KEY’, ‘AUTH_KEY’, ‘vt-L\”nbbY&FbgSh\\M!.Sxmg,9_g/
   6[$>EUZa}nfW1]hU k8Ql\”bbb#$`=(AzPM'); define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'SECURE_AUTH_KEY','
   T]bb[)JdHcB&^m9RR:pauw`r&bGV+%WV!h\’qF Eeq\”da[mJP^sy$RWzxY6|e&_3l’); define(‘
   LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘lD^b9bbuJEF3`T,
 * Any mistakes above OR anything missing?
 * (2) Do I open /wp-admin/install.php in my browser by typing in the following:
   [http://abc.com/](http://abc.com/) /wp-admin/install.php ?
 * (3) I uploaded the files to a folder on my server. Do I also need to upload an
   index.html file?

 * 1) several errors – should look like:
 *     ```
       <?php
       // ** MySQL settings ** //
       define('DB_NAME', 'database_name');    // The name of the database
       define('DB_USER', 'username');     // Your MySQL username
       define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password'); // ...and password
       define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');    // 99% chance you won't need to change this value
       define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
       define('DB_COLLATE', '');
   
       // Change each KEY to a different unique phrase.  You won't have to remember the phrases later,
       // so make them long and complicated.  You can visit http://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/
       // to get keys generated for you, or just make something up.  Each key should have a different phrase.
       define('AUTH_KEY', 'nice'); // Change this to a unique phrase.
       define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'and'); // Change this to a unique phrase.
       define('LOGGED_IN_KEY', 'simple'); // 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', '');
   
       /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
   
       if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
       	define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');
       require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');
       ?>
       ```
   
 * You must use the same format as wp-config-sample.php
    In your secure keys, you
   can not have single or double quotes
 * 2) yes
 * 3) no, the wordpress index.php in the root folder runs the blog
