* if getting a new wall to beat my head against is progress, than woot woot I’m
awesome. 😉
* Yeah… so slowly figuring this out. All my config.php file info looks fine, so
no idea what the problem is NOW. Ugh.
* Error page I get when I load install.php:
* Error establishing a database connection
* This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.
php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost. This
could mean your host’s database server is down.
* * Are you sure you have the correct username and password? Yes
* Are
you sure that you have typed the correct hostname? still the default, I didn’t
change it the 1st time so I didn’t change it now * Are you sure that the
database server is running? yes
* If you’re unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host.
If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.

* unfortunatly, again, I’m an idiot who knows NOTHING about how MySQL & databases
work, and when I initally had errors reuploading everything, I thought I had
to recreate the database as well, so the old one’s been dropped. I’m essentially
starting from scratch, and it’s not installing like it did the first time.
* So I guess what I’m asking is, if the wp folder and the database are both gone,
should I be having issues reinstalling? or is there something else I need to
do to wipe it clean? I was only a day into my blog so it’s not an issue to just
reupload everything, at least once I get through the actual install process.
