Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Can’t access install.phpForgot to indicate this. This is the message I continually get when attempting to access the install.php file. everything has been done as per instructions. Please help. This is the umptheenth time I have asked and thanks to all the people who have given suggestions. despite trying all of them the problem still arises.
Error establishing a database connectionThis 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?
* Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
* Are you sure that the database server is running?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.

In reply to: Can’t browse to the install.php fileThings have improved a bit. I put all the WordPress files in a folder named wordpress in the public_html folder. When I attempted to access it I got the “Error establishing a database connection” message. Went back and checked all the data in the config.php file – all OK checked my DB setup via cpanel – all meshes, same name database UN & PW all OK – I’m beginning to think there is a conspiracy agin me.

In reply to: Can’t browse to the install.php fileThanks. The php on the server – Hostingbay, is V.5 so it should be OK What is chmod? I want to do it myself – don’t want to be a burden on people like yourself. Thanks for the offer – I’ll certainly holler if I can’t do the job.

In reply to: Can’t browse to the install.php fileThanks. How do I go about getting php 4 or better? Is it on the hosting server? I am a newbie with these sort of things.
