 * Hi fellows,
 * I installed in my local computer f:\wordpress\…, and uploaded
 * f:\wordpress\(.php) –> (Web Server) \httpdocs\blog\
    f:\wordpress\ws-admin\(.
   php) –> (Web Server) \httpdocs\blog\ws-admin\
 * —- \httpdocs\ is my root ——
 * and create my dB (mba, johnmelo, password, localhost), please see below my config
   file (A)
 * but executing (Web Server) \httpdocs\blog\ws-admin\install.php
 * I always I receive the following answer (B) (Please help!):
 * ======== A ============== my config file:
 * <?php
    // ** MySQL settings ** // define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘mba’); // The name of the
   database define(‘DB_USER’, ‘johnmelo’); // Your MySQL username define(‘DB_PASSWORD’,‘
   password’); // …and password define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you
   won’t need to change this value
 * // You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique
   prefix
    $table_prefix = ‘wp_mba’; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!
 * // Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
    // chosen
   language must be installed to wp-includes/languages. // For example, install 
   de.mo to wp-includes/languages and set WPLANG to ‘de’ // to enable German language
   support. define (‘WPLANG’, ‘en’);
 * /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
 * define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);
    require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.
   php’); ?>
 * ============= B ============== the received answer:
 * wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started. Need more help? We
   got it. You can create a wp-config.php file through a web interface, but this
   doesn’t work for all server setups. The safest way is to manually create the

 * Why is your admin section “ws-admin” instead of “wp-admin”?

 * Hi,
 * In addition to my previous post:
 * 1. I use GoDaddy
 * 2. With the Plesk 7.5 I get:
    Welcome to phpMyAdmin 2.6.0-pl3 MySQL 3.23.58 running
   on localhost as johnmelo@localhost
 * Thanks!

 * Can’t help you, sorry. I know nothing about godaddy, and I don’t want to learn.
 * However…. I ask again: why is your admin section “ws-admin” instead of “wp-admin”?
 * Wait a sec: if you installed on your local computer, what does godaddy have to
   do with it?

 * Hi vkaryl,
 * Thanks, the post was in error, the directory in the Web Server is really \blog\
   wp-admin\.

 * Okay…. but explain please why if installing on your local machine, godaddy is
   involved.

 * No,

 * Okay, wait. You’re really saying you just downloaded to your local machine, then
   put it up on godaddy?

 * Yes,
 * I download and unziped and put in the local f:\wordpress\ directory. After, I
   changed the config file, etc., and upload to my Server at GoDaddy, in \httpdocs\
   blog\ and \httpdocs\blog\wp-admin\
 * \httpdocs\ is my root, and Plesk 7.5 sau the dB is in \localhost\, as I write
   in the config file. And apparently they don’t find the config, what is the real
   config directory?

 * Okay, you got me confused there. When you said “I installed in my local computer
   f:\wordpress\…,” I thought you meant on a local server, and nothing later would
   have been impossible with that (until I got to the godaddy stuff, see?)
 * You may have to contact godaddy’s support folks, there’s a fair amount of stuff
   that’s different about an install and the wp-config.php under their setup. Or
   using google, put this in the search box:
 * `site:wordpress.org/support godaddy install`
 * and read through the information in some of those threads.
