Title: wp-config.php Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # wp-config.php * [DAVID LIVINGSTONE](https://wordpress.org/support/users/david-livingstone/) * (@david-livingstone) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-configphp-19/) * Hi i don’t know what help i can be as i am having some diffculties myself. Mostly with the wp-config.php file. So i think you are ahead of me in the download/installation process. * I have followed the help/support forums to the best of my ability. * I know that i needed to rename the wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php which then allowed to to view and read the WordPress ReadMe html file (which i opened with Internet Explorer). * I am also using MySQL. More specifically MySQL Workbench 5.2 CE * I have tried some of the scripting but to no avail. * My FTP is FileZilla – which has given me some ‘positive’ responses – but unfortunately all resulting in being unable to connect. Even though i know its pointing in roughly the right direction. * Just thought i’d leave you a reply in the hope that two heads are better than one. (‘You scratch my back and i’ll scratch yours’ – sort of thing. * One other thing, my domain/website hosting is with 000webhost.com (for future reference). * I am a complete novice and i suppose getting to grips with it all by trial and error. * Any help is much appreciated. Kind regards (and thank you in advance).

Or is this still the same issue? Don’t know what you mean by “postcard”?? * Thread Starter [DAVID LIVINGSTONE](https://wordpress.org/support/users/david-livingstone/) * (@david-livingstone) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-configphp-19/page/2/#post-3121792) * I think so. Although… my ‘public_html’ file has a folder called ‘wordpress’ and inside the ‘wordpress’ folder was all the .php files and .html index stuff. I thought i might have needed to extract all the files from the ‘wordpress’ folder and put them into the ‘public_html’ folder… and then deleted what would be the now empty ‘wordpress’ folder (if you catch my drift?) * By ‘postcard’ i meant “answers short and sweet please”… * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-configphp-19/page/2/#post-3121793) * Your site does appear to be here: [http://enigmatrix.org.uk/wordpress/](http://enigmatrix.org.uk/wordpress/) * Does this login work?

Or created one… * Set all target directories. public_html/wordpress into public_html folder. I was typing in public_html – but needed to instruct the FTP client to apply that rule to move ALL of the files which i had selected (ticked) and not just commanding it to apply to just one or two for some reason. * I deleted the ‘wordpress’ folder but now my domain site is seeing my wordpress site as html! * What have i done? * Thread Starter [DAVID LIVINGSTONE](https://wordpress.org/support/users/david-livingstone/) * (@david-livingstone) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-configphp-19/page/2/#post-3121796) * .htaccess file has lost its little icon and the wlwmanifest.xml file has lost its little icon. – The ‘icons’ look like a blank sheet of white paper.
