 * i cannot for the life of me install wordpress onto my new xtreemhost.com site.
   i have not only read through WP codex docs but also googled so many types of 
   info. i have nowhere else to turn right now and i’m super frustrated. if you 
   can, please help!
 * i have uploaded all files to: [http://ftp.xtreemhost.com](http://ftp.xtreemhost.com)
   
   USER: xth_2582038 PW: XXXXXX /htdocs/wordpress also tried just /htdocs ALL I 
   GET IS 404 ERROR EVERYTIME
 * when editing wp-config i have used the information i created tonight:
 * define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘xth_2582038_wordpress’); // The name of the database
    ……..
   also tried define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’); // define(‘DB_USER’, ‘xth_2582038’);//
   Your MySQL username define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘XXXXXX’); // …and password define(‘
   DB_HOST’, ‘sql203.xtreemhost.com’); // 99% chance you won’t need
 * ******************* are these values correct for my file?
 * I then tried to connect to my site using a remote ftp, (cyberduck) with the values
   
   SERVER: [http://ftp.xtreemhost.com](http://ftp.xtreemhost.com) USER: xth_2582038
   PW: XXXXXX
 * ********* i am able to connect to this, but is this where the mysql files must
   be stored?? cannot connect directly to the address sql203.xtreemhost.com
 * once files are installed i should be able to connect to the file [http://www.premises.xtreemhost.com/htdocs/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php](http://www.premises.xtreemhost.com/htdocs/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php)?
 * AARRGH!
 * sorry to be a n00b to those of you more experienced. bear with me.
