 * I admit I am new to this so be patient. lets say my login to cpanel is yyy.
 * When I create the database I name the database blog and the user pete
    The cpanel
   then shows database as yyy_blog and user as yyy_pete. Is this what I use? or 
   do I simply user blog and pete? Here is my config file is this correct?
 * <?php
    // ** MySQL settings ** // define(‘DB_Name’, ‘yyy_blog’); // The name 
   of the database define(‘DB_USER’, ‘yyy_pete’); // Your MySQL username define(‘
   DB_PASSWORD’, ‘xx’); // …and password define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% 
   chance you won’t need to change this value define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’); define(‘
   DB_COLLATE’, ”);
 * on running /wordpressa/wp-admin/install.php ( my wordpress directory is named
   wordpressa and is a sub directory) I get the following error:
    The server encountered
   an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
 * Please contact the server administrator, webmaster and inform them of the time
   the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the
   error.
 * More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
 * Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument
   to handle the request
    On looking at tghe error log in cpanel: SoftException 
   in Application.cpp:553: Directory “/home/xxxx/public_html/wordpressa/wp-admin”
   is writeable by others
 * Thanks for your assitance
 * Rod
