• Hi, I’m new and trying to install wordpress. I’ve installed greymatter before but that was years ago and I’m a bit rusty.

    Here’s my problem:

    My website is http://mandyanne.dkmhosting.com
    My wp-config.php file looks like this:
    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘mandyannedkmhostingcom’); // The name of the database
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘mandyannedkmhostingcom’); // Your MySQL username
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘*****’); // …and password
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

    That part could be wrong, but I’m not sure. Then I uploaded the entire wordpress folder onto my server space. I didn’t see a cgi file anywhere..

    And when I go to http://mandyanne.dkmhosting.com/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php
    it says “there doesn’t seem to be a wp-config.php file”. What am I doing wrong, or did I do anything right? Please help – mandyanne.

  • Shouldn’t this
    mandyanne_dkmhosting_com
    be rather something like:
    mandyanne_dkmhosting.com ?

    Edit. or just mandyanne_dkmhosting ?

    I tried all of those versions moshu. Still not working. I’m waiting for my host to get back to me, they are taking forever!

    Earlier you mentioned cPanel. Did you add the user to the DB? Using_cPanel see the Really Important Bit

    ooo I have to add the user? I don’t think I’ve done that. I’ll go try to figure that out. Thanks!

    moshu, you are a genius. It worked! I’m currently installing..

    LOL, not at all. Just made the same mistake a year ago πŸ™‚ – and learned the lesson.

    Ok, installation went really well. But now I have a question (I know I ask so many). =)

    My blog is currently located at http://mandyanne.dkmhosting.com/wordpress but I would like it to just be located at http://mandyanne.dkmhosting.com

    So, can I do this by taking all the files out of the wordpress folder and putting them outside it, or do I have to reinstall? And if so, does my config file remain the same?

    Thanks for all your help guys, I couldn’t of done this without you. =)

    Wait! First let’s make it work from where it is now. When I go to your blog all I get is a blank page. You can search for blank index et al.; but you also can check whether the default theme is in the proper folder: sometimes it gets like /themes/default/default/ and it has to be moved in the first “default” directory.

    I can’t even find the themes folder. Exactly where is it located?

    Edit. Found the folder on my hard drive, now uploading it.

    Now it works, I didn’t realize my page wasn’t supposed to be blank =P. Thanks again moshu. Anything else I’m missing?

    Now it’s fine. I am glad it works.
    And for moving, please, read in the Codex this article:
