 * No. I bought an existing site from someone – running on WordPress.
 * I am having trouble installing it on my server – have tried a few times – and
   can’t seem to get it to work.
 * I am looking for someone who could install it for me on my server.

 * I am sorry if I am not describing this correctly.
 * I bought an existing site from someone (domain name and content). It is a wordpress
   blog.
 * I was given two files – a zipped file of the wordpress files and a zipped file
   of the database.
 * I have uploaded the wordpress files to my sever, but I am getting an error saying
   that there is a database error.

 * thanks handysolo.
 * I have read that. I am taking the files from the old owner and uploading them
   to my server. I believe (and I may be wrong) that I have to edit the wp-config.
   That is where I am unsure what I have to change.
 * There is the DB_NAME, DB_USER, and DB_PASSWORD.
 * I dont know what exactly to change them to.

 * thanks PozHonks – I am a newbie when it comes to all this, and that is WAY above
   my head.
 * The thing is, I logged in (using my password) about 2 minutes after I posted 
   my initial message. Now again, I can’t log in.
 * I know my username is admin – so when I try to retrieve my password and enter
   my email address – it tells me that it isnt a match. Something weird is going
   on. What could be causing this?????
