Wordpree Error

    When I am going to install wordpress in my server I have to face error message

    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.

    I am new in wordpress. Can anyone help me? How to solve the problem? Waiting your guide line.

    At first, there is no wp-config.php. This is how WordPress knows it is a new installation. You can copy the wp-config-sample.php file that's in with any installation. Open it in any text editor and you can manually edit he first couple lines-

    // ** MySQL settings ** //
    define('DB_NAME', 'dbname'); // The name of the database
    define('DB_USER', 'username'); // Your MySQL username
    define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password'); // ...and password
    define('DB_HOST', 'mysql.server.com');

    Are you sure you have changed the name of wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php and edited it by putting the right information of your MySQL database?

    Who is your host provider? If there is an option of wordpress install then go for it.It will create database and install wordpress for you.
    If you are copying wordpress throught FTP then download latest version from wordpress website and copy content to your host.In order to install wordpress you will have to create database manually before installation.

    Is this on shared hosting or your own dedicated / VPS server? Seems like php may be missing if your index is displayed or your webserver configuration file is misconfigured
