    define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value

    This is your MySQL database information.

    If you haven't created one, go into cPanel and create one :)

    Do i need to change any of this to make sure it works?

    much thanks



    / You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix
    $table_prefix = 'wp_'; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

    // Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
    // chosen language must be installed to wp-content/languages.
    // For example, install de.mo to wp-content/languages and set WPLANG to 'de'
    // to enable German language support.
    define ('WPLANG', '');

    All you need to change in the config file is this:

    define('DB_NAME', 'putyourdbnamehere'); // The name of the database
    define('DB_USER', 'usernamehere'); // Your MySQL username
    define('DB_PASSWORD', 'yourpasswordhere'); // ...and password

    Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress.

    Hiya bro! You must have messed it up somehow. If you want, for a small fee I can set it up for ya :) if you don't want to spend money then get a fresh copy of wp-config and do it again, hopefully it will work smoothly. Cheers.

    Are you using a webhost with cpanel?
    If yes then try to locate fantatisco icon in cpanel. Through that you can install WP in couple of click.
    Also if your host is not cpanel based, there are high chances that they provide some one-click-intall robot for popular applications like wordpress.

    IM 99% done and when i go to install wordpress i get this message on the website

    There doesn't seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started. Need more help? We got it. You can create a wp-config.php file through a web interface, but this doesn't work for all server setups. The safest way is to manually create the file.


    AND I DID THE PHP FILE CORRECT AND ITS UPLOADED TO THE SERVER IVE CHECKED IT LIKE 50TIMES ..I DONT KNOW WHATS WRONG WITH IT....

    ANY SUGGESTIONS....PLEASE HELP

    Yes I renamed it. And also I am using godaddy for webhosting which that alone I've heard its a headache. It so wierd cause I've double checked everything and it looks right. And obviously there's some thing wrong but idk... I don't wanna pay some one now that I'm at the end of it and I'm pretty sure whatever has to be done is minimal......the only thing I saw in this tuturial that I did different was that they uploaded wp-config.php AFTER they loaded up all the other files. And I did all the files together...but I highly doubt that's the issue....

    Again thank you guys that have been helping me....your all kind

    I am on a mobile phone but I will do so when I get access to a computer. question: the ftp godaddy gave me am I suppose to load the wordpress files on it. Because I didn't do that I just used the ftp client to transfer the wp files to the database I created. And if I do need to load them, how do I do that, do I just drag and drop or unzip them into it?

    'transfer wp files to database?'
    Seems like you are lost. You can load the file either by drag and drop or by unziping them to root directory.
    Use some FTP client like Filezilla to do the task.

    I unzipped them to the root directory already but go daddy gave me this ftp://safensoundz.com not sure if the ' : ' is in the right place. But I was wondering if I had to put the files there also.
    I hope I'm making sense...lol

    Try using filezilla. It has better interface and easy to use.
