 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/anything/public_html/
   manifestdestinynow/wp/wp-config.php on line 4
 * I have uninstalled and I am trying to install again. This is the error please
   help. I have been at this all day…
 * Also, can someone explain to me how I could get this to be just [http://www.manifestdestinynow.com](http://www.manifestdestinynow.com)
   without all the extra addons. Thanks for the help.

 * 1. It is NOT syntax error #4.
    You made an error in line number 4 of the wp-config
   file when editing. Line #4 is this: `define('DB_USER', 'usernamehere'); // Your
   MySQL username`
 * 2. There is no such domain as you posted above.
    In your other post you have 
   a completely different domain: [http://www.anythingamancando.com/](http://www.anythingamancando.com/)

 * Those are file paths from your servers point of views which can be wildly different
   from what a brower uses. You can’t change it.
 * I’d guess you left out a quote mark in you wp-config.php. Probably on line 3 
   but that’s only a guess. Or you added an hidden character or space before the
   <php. in line 1.
 * If so, you can reload that all day and nothing will change until you fix it.

 * moshu – i know that but I installed wp onto that subdirectory (www.manifestdestinynow.
   com/wp)
 * What I want to know is how can I remove the anythingamancando part. So instead
   of [http://www.anythingamancando.manifestdestinynow.com/wp](http://www.anythingamancando.manifestdestinynow.com/wp)
   it will just be [http://www.manifestdestinynow.com](http://www.manifestdestinynow.com)
 * I hope that clears things up and you are able to help me.
 * thanks a bunch.

 * OK, I’ll repeat again: there doesn’t seem to be a domain manifestdestinynow.com.
   
   Did you register (buy) that domain?
 * There is only [http://www.anythingamancando.com](http://www.anythingamancando.com)–
   that’s a working domain. Is that yours?
 * I don’t really understand what you want with a non-existent domain… but that’s
   the lesser problem. You don’t seem to understand either.

 * Moshu types faster than me. ;^)
 * Something isn’t right. A disturbance in the force. Neither site resolves. Who
   wants to bet he’ll be back with another site and another problem and another 
   user name? I could be wrong.

 * no i won’t. and i am a female trying to do it for her self. and only with this
   one site. If I learn how to do it, then I won’t bother folks. I thought this 
   was the place to ask for help.

   WP installed without theme/stylsheet.

 * I did say I could be wrong. Don’t play the gender card, everyone is equal until
   they claim they aren’t. K?
 * You have DNS and hosting problems which only your host and you can figure out.

 * Forget the stylesheet!
    Just answer if you want help, OK?
 * 1. There is no domain [http://www.manifestdestinynow.com](http://www.manifestdestinynow.com).
   **
   Did you register (buy) that domain?** Yes? No?
 * 2. There is only [http://www.anythingamancando.com](http://www.anythingamancando.com)–
   that’s a working domain. **Is that yours?**
    Yes? No?
 * ===========
    Login to your admin panel > Options > General and correct the two
   URI values: they can NOT be fantasy domains, only the real location of the WP
   install. Do you get it???

 * I’ll bet your options setting don’t match the DNS. You can’t change website addresses
   just by change the WordPress option settings.
