That’s for having a blog running on your computer which right now is not what you need. * I assume you have uploaded all the files to the webspace. Now follow this page: [http://support.globat.com/sc/index.php/Databases](http://support.globat.com/sc/index.php/Databases) to make a database, a database user and a database password. They are the only 3 details you need to get it going. Does that help at all? * Thread Starter [nekki](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nekki/) * (@nekki) * [20 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-installing-wordpress-or-unsure-error/#post-372906) * I can’t make a database with user “wordpress” In config.php, Do I have to make changes to localhost? * [elmorsa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elmorsa/) * (@elmorsa) * [20 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-installing-wordpress-or-unsure-error/#post-372919) * I have some trouble with my installation. * I’m trying to install WordPress 2.02 in the server. I configured the config…php file, I set up the database (MySQL 4.1.18), but after put my email and name of the blog, it stops. Everything stop. There’s no sign of a “second stage” in the installation. * Well, I check the database, and the install.php set the tables, but when I try to run index.php it shows nothing. * What could it be? * [liekje](https://wordpress.org/support/users/liekje/) * (@liekje) * [20 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-installing-wordpress-or-unsure-error/#post-372932) * Well, I’ve got also a problem. I uploaded WordPress on my FTP server for my website, but he didn’t do it. Then I followed the instructions in the README, but I don’t know what my DATABASE details are. What can I do know? I’m almost 2 hours busy with this thing, but it won’t work! Can you please give me some things, so I can change it or something, so it does work? * [elmorsa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elmorsa/) * (@elmorsa) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-installing-wordpress-or-unsure-error/#post-372997) * Well, I’ve had no problems with the WordPress 1.2 Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) The topic ‘Problem installing wordpress or unsure error’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [config](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/config/) * [installation](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/installation/) * [installing](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/installing/) * In: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) * 7 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [elmorsa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elmorsa/) * Last activity: [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-installing-wordpress-or-unsure-error/#post-372997) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
