Did you install WordPress in a sub-directory (folder) or at the root of your site? If it’s in a folder, then you’ll need to alter your path to
skiing-tips-and-tricks.com/your-directory-name-here/wp-admin/install.php
I’m sorry, I don’t quite understand… Do you mind telling me how exactly I can do that?
By the way, thank you!
Where did you install WordPress. Is it in a folder called “wordpress” or “blog” or something else?
goldenbible,
This is 99% wrong database info in wp-config.php. Check it out, you need to use mysql[number].000webhost.com instead of localhost, where [number] is the number of server. You can see correct mysql server name at your 000webhost hosting account’s dashboard.

I installed it and it’s in a folder called “wordpress”.

I made sureI had the correct host name… I used mysql11.000webhost.com in the host name area… I made sure all of that was in order.
Thank you!
I installed it and it’s in a folder called “wordpress”.
Then your install file should be here:
skiing-tips-and-tricks.com/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php
p.s. add http://www. before the above link – didn’t want to make it clickable here.
When you go on this url as you have wordpress files and folders in wordpress folder
http://skiing-tips-and-tricks.com/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php
Get error because looks like you have not entered database name in wp-config.php file
* Are you sure it exists?
* Does the user a9665558_joshua have permission to use the database_name_here database?
* On some systems the name of your database is prefixed with your username, so it would be like username_database_name_here. Could that be the problem?
I’m sorry, I’m not very good at this type of thing… Here’s what I’ve got:
» MySQL Database » MySQL User » MySQL Host
a9665558_wp a9665558_joshua mysql11.000webhost.com
I uploaded the WordPress folder and just left the name at WordPress, I’m not sure what that means to be honest…
I apologize for being so incompetent, I just honestly don’t understand exactly what your talking about here… Here’s what my config file says:
[Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please use the pastebin]
Thank you!
You’re missing a database name:
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘database_name_here’);
You need to replace database_name_here with a9665558_wp (if the above is correct)
OH!!! Thank you! I’ll put that information in in a minute, thank you once again :-).
Instead of you editing the wp-config.php file you can let the install program create the file for you if you want to do that just delete the wp-config.php file and leave the sample config there and run install program
I thought that would’ve fixed it up, but it’s still showing a error message when I go to the website “http://skiing-tips-and-tricks.com/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php”…
Thank you!
govpatel,
I’m not sure, what good would doing that do?
govpatel,
I just did what you suggested, there still isn’t a change though…
Thanks anyway!
I could always email you my FTP user name/host/password so that you could have a look yourself…
