WordPress

Welcome to WordPress. Before getting started, we need some information on the database. You will need to know the following items before proceeding.

  1. Database name
  2. Database username
  3. Database password
  4. Database host
  5. Table prefix (if you want to run more than one WordPress in a single database)

If for any reason this automatic file creation doens't work, don't worry. All this does is fill in the database information to a configuration file. You may also simply open wp-config-sample.php in a text editor, fill in your information, and save it as wp-config.php.

In all likelihood, these items were supplied to you by your ISP. If you do not have this information, then you will need to contact them before you can continue. If you’re all ready, let’s go!

Below you should enter your database connection details. If you're not sure about these, contact your host.

Database Name The name of the database you want to run WP in.
User Name Your MySQL username
Password ...and MySQL password.
Database Host 99% chance you won't need to change this value.
Table Prefix If you want to run multiple WordPress installations in a single database, change this.
$line) { switch (substr($line,0,16)) { case "define('DB_NAME'": fwrite($handle, str_replace("wordpress", $dbname, $line)); break; case "define('DB_USER'": fwrite($handle, str_replace("'username'", "'$uname'", $line)); break; case "define('DB_PASSW": fwrite($handle, str_replace("'password'", "'$passwrd'", $line)); break; case "define('DB_HOST'": fwrite($handle, str_replace("localhost", $dbhost, $line)); break; case '$table_prefix =': fwrite($handle, str_replace('wp_', $prefix, $line)); break; default: fwrite($handle, $line); } } fclose($handle); chmod('../wp-config.php', 0666); ?>

All right sparky! You've made it through this part of the installation. WordPress can now communicate with your database. If you are ready, time now to run the install!
