Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: wp-config.php questionsThanks all, I seem to have it up and running now, though only in inofficial test phase, therefore no URL (it’s gonna be cat content anyway ;-)).
Problem was that my host company had the information about the MySQL database username well hidden somewhere deep down in their information file. My bad and their disorder. Nevermind…
Thanks again, Tom

In reply to: wp-config.php questionsThanks, Macmanx, for the link, it already helped me quite some.
But this “username” for the MySQL database still puzzles me, excuse me, please, if I am being “thick” here.
– When I installed the DB from the interface at my ISP I was neither given nor asked for a username, I just got the DB, its (default) name, and a password (which I adjusted to my taste).
– Question now is: Is the username which I edit in wp-config.php something which I *define* just there for later use with WP? If not, then how in the world can I find out that username?
I’ve never worked with elaborate databases like MySQL, using a Mac I’ve always been happy using the beautifully easy FileMaker Pro, which is a different animal, as you will know.
Thanks, Tom

In reply to: wp-config.php questionsOne more question, I just checked my installed database on the “virtual server” (with all my domains) that I rented from that ISP…
I’m asked to edit also this:
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘username’); // Your MySQL username
What is meant by “username” — the username for that domain? Cause I can’t find a special username for that DB… <scratch head>
TIA, Tom

In reply to: wp-config.php questionsplease forgive my dummy question, but…
you mean I need to edit the *right* item, i.e. in (‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’) I need to change the “wordpress” in cse my DB has another name, right?
Cheers & TIA, Tom
