 * A very new CMS person here. I have a site hosted @ freeparking.co.nz
    They say
   they support MySQL and PHP. Does that mean that I need to install PHP / MySQL
   to get WordPress going? I have a decent understanding of old fashioned HTML, 
   however need to upskill I think. Some tips or pointers would be appreciated.

 * You’ll need their Plus account.
    No installing should be needed, just a password
   into mysql.

 * Help 🙂 Please 🙂
    I emailed my service provider and they set up a MySQL db and
   gave me all the details and a link to my PHPAdmin stuff. I’ve looked at it an
   a db has been created. I’ve made the changes to the config files (as per 5 min
   install page), uploaded to my site but still no joy. Help 🙂 Please 🙂

    paste only the parts of your wp-config here that you needed to complete,
   but obscure your password please.

 * Just re-uploading the files to my website. Can I email you rather than publicly
   post?
