 * The data should be entered in wp-config.php file. Find wp-config-sample.php and
   remove “sample” from that, type in your stuff and upload. However it would be
   even easier if you did this via browser.

 * It seems that mod_security is causing the problem. You can report this to your
   host. They should help you to resolve this problem.
