 * That sounds like exactly what I am looking for. Can you help me understand a 
   bit more?
 * What can I do to have it automatically generate? I used to create addon domains
   when I had VPS hosting, and it worked no problem, but now that I am running my
   own cPanel on a Linode (self managed and my own cPanel license) it seems that
   it does not.
 * So is there a trick to getting that back? The manual thing is a pain.
 * Thank you so much for your detailed response. I am sure this will help people
   in the future understand when they get stuck!

 * When you first copy the files via FTP, normally it brings you to a page that 
   says ‘pick a language’ and the wp-config.php file is created automatically after
   you enter the data needed into the web browser.
 * I google searched the issue, and found nothing. I know what the file is, and 
   that link serves no purpose in explaining the answer to my question.
 * If the file is usually created automatically, why is it not doing so for me? 
   Why do I have to manually create the file now?

 * So it turns out, reinstalling isn’t even working. It’s actually just that when
   I run through the wp-config it just logs me in. I am now logged in, and can access
   the dashboard, but when I go to the site it does not work,
