    I have created a wp-config file from the wp-configsample and entered my database details etc.

  • You do not need to create wp-config.php yourself. Just call the installer after you have dropped the wordpress files. It will ask you for the relevant data and create the wp-config.php for you. To access the installer again, simply delete the wp-config.php you created.
