I uploaded everything and I think I configured the config file right. I don’t know. I need an example to follow. I ran the install file like it said, but i see a bunch of code, and no password. I have never used this before and dont have a clue what I’m doing. * Thread Starter Anonymous * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/phpmyadmin-help-setting-up-wordpress/#post-103897) * I uploaded everything into the main directory but I dont know whats wrong. I give up… * [Kafkaesqui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kafkaesqui/) * (@kafkaesqui) * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/phpmyadmin-help-setting-up-wordpress/#post-103898) * You give up easily. Wanna play poker? 🙂 – When you ran install.php, were there any error messages? If so, what were they? – Did you rename wp-config-sample. php to wp-config.php? – Did 100webspace give you login information for your MySQL database? If you’re required to log in to phpMyAdmin, it’s likely the username and password for that is the one needed in your wp-config.php information. If that doesn’t work, you may need to contact 100webspace to find out how you log in to your MySQL database. * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/phpmyadmin-help-setting-up-wordpress/#post-103914) * You probably have to change the host value as well (the part that they claim is 99% “localhost”, but rarely ever is). * Thread Starter Anonymous * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/phpmyadmin-help-setting-up-wordpress/#post-103916) * I hope you uploaded the files in bin format and images in ASCII format. I am not sure that make much of a difference. 1) unzip into /var/www/ or /var/www/ htdocs 2) rename and make entries in wp-config.php file. define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’);// The name of the database define(‘DB_USER’, ‘database-name’); // Your MySQL username define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘your password’); // …and password define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);// 99% chance you won’t need to change this value 3) hope the permissions on this directory is 644 (or 655 in some cases) * Thread Starter Anonymous * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/phpmyadmin-help-setting-up-wordpress/#post-103917) * phpMyAdmin Follow the instructions on this URL ‘[http://internetmaster.com/installtutorial/download_myadmin.htm’](http://internetmaster.com/installtutorial/download_myadmin.htm’); * [Mark (podz)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/podz/) * (@podz) * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/phpmyadmin-help-setting-up-wordpress/#post-103924) * [@nickmarshall](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickmarshall/) – if you are really stuck, I’ll install it if you want.

I have a similar problem to the person above. I am hosting at Yahoo! The thing is, it almost seems as if I am unable to create a database without installing the my php software. Has anyone set up the php and mysql on a Yahoo! host before. I really need help as I have been trying to figure this out alone by myself for over a week off and on and I am suprememly fustrated. I would be willing to even give out my password info so one of you guys could take a look.

Email address as above. * Thread Starter Anonymous * [21 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/phpmyadmin-help-setting-up-wordpress/#post-104220) * I’m having the same problem as nick. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong… * [DianeV](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dianev/) * (@dianev) * [21 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/phpmyadmin-help-setting-up-wordpress/#post-104221) * Thing is, we’re not hearing what the exact problems — or solutions — were. To install WordPress, you *have* to have web hosting space that includes: – PHP version 4.1 or greater – MySQL version 3.23.23 or greater – (optional) The Apache mod_rewrite module, for full cruft-free URI functionality [http://wordpress.org/about/requirements/](http://wordpress.org/about/requirements/)( Boy, that link’s hard to find!) If you have that, then your web host will likely already have set up the mySQL database, and can tell you what your database name, etc., are.
