The safest way is to manually create the file. > Create a Configuration File * I press ‘Create a Congiguation File’ and presses ‘Let’s go’. * I insert my Database name, username, password, database host, table prefix. And go to the next page. It says now: * > Sorry, but I can’t write the wp-config.php file. > You can create the wp-config.php manually and paste the following text into > it. > *Lot of text* > After you’ve done that, click “Run the install.” * I insert it into my wp-conifg.php in my root folder called ‘wordpress’, and presses“ Run the install”. * But when I press “Run the install”, it gives me this message again: * > There doesn’t seem to be a wp-config.php file.

I followed the guide as I linked to before. I think I made a database there. I think I used Apache to that. Egen I type localhost/ i get a message that sats something like “Congratulasions.

Then I changed it to “Create and delete files” – It didn’t work neither. * I went to “Change permissions for Enclosed Files”. Changed all of them to “Read and Write only” under files, and “Create and delete” under folders. * Nothing works.

I putted it there. * See a screenshot right here: [http://i44.tinypic.com/scfblf.png](http://i44.tinypic.com/scfblf.png) Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total)
