eh…I don’t know. I have not set up database yet. I am just starting.
I called my ISP today to add Mysql database to my website and I received a mysql.ekeretallie.com adress with user/password. Don’t know what to do with it because ftp does not access it. So I upoaded al fies to my regular website ftp-address.
Do I still make sense?
To be clear:
When you say you “customized the config file”, does this mean that you copied wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php and edited that file accordingly?
Did you insert the proper values for your database name; and the username and password for that database?
The mysql.ekeretallie.com address is what you’ll use in wp-config.php for the “Database Sevrer”. You will use this instead of “localhost”.

yes, i just changed the values like this (xxx being user/pass)
<?php
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’);
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘xxx’);
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘xxx’);
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘ekeretallie’);
$table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // example: ‘wp_’ or ‘b2’ or ‘mylogin_’
define (‘WPLANG’, ”);
define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);
require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.php’);
?>

now how do i “select the wordpress database.” ?
If the hosting provider did not create any databases for you, you’ll need to that yourself.
If you have a control panel for your host, use this to create a database named “wordpress”.
If you do not have a control panel, either ask your host to crease the database for you, or download and install phpMyAdmin to your site. Use this to create the “wordpress” database; then proceed with your installation.
Your host may have created a database for you using a different name. I encourage you to check with them, first.

yes they created one
i received info:
host: mysql.ekeretallie.com
user: xxx
database:xxx
password: xxx
Am i supposed to make ftp contact with http://ftp.mysql.ekeretallie.com?
ftp does not work
No. The mysql.ekeretallie.com address is only used in your wp-config.php file.
Upload all the WordPress files to your web server location. Make sure that wp-config.php looks like this:
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', 'XXX'); // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'XXX'); // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'XXX'); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', 'mysql.ekeretallie.com'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value
Replace NAME with the name of the database as provided by your host.
Repalce USER and PASSWORD with the values supplied by your host.

one thing, in step 2 i noticed
Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: Permission denied in d:\www\ekeretallie.com\www\wp-admin\upgrade-functions.php on line 683
even though things so far are going smooth
Hi
The install.php doesn’t work for me either – I’ve made the amends to the config file and it looks right..
Any clues?
Thx a million for any ideas
a
AC2005: what happens when you execute install.php?
In what ways have you modified wp-config.php ?
Hi. I just upload all of the files, configured the config file but install doesn’t work… here are what my file says
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘dorksan_Dorks’); // The name of the database
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘xxx’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘xxx’); // …and password
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘dorksan@localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple blogs in a single database.
$table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // example: ‘wp_’ or ‘b2’ or ‘mylogin_’
// 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’, ”);
/* Stop editing */
I created the database and dorksan_Dorks is what it said it was… i also created a local host, and dorksan@localhost is what it said it was…
and for the multiple blogs… if I want more than one, what do I put? anything?
please help… thanks…
