 * I am installing wordpress for a webpage and I set up the password and now when
   I try to get in to the wordpress logo site it won’t take my password. And it 
   has not sent anything to me via my email. Any help?

 * This is your login: [http://www.centennial-band.com/wordpress/wp-login.php](http://www.centennial-band.com/wordpress/wp-login.php)
 * but it says:
    “There doesn’t seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this before
   we can get started.
 * Need more help? We got it.
 * You can create a wp-config.php file through a web interface, but this doesn’t
   work for all server setups. The safest way is to manually create the file.”

 * Yes…I followed all the directions and it went well. Put it all the info on this
   page below and put in a password that it accepted.. Then it took me to another
   page and wanted me to sign in. I did and put the password but it would not accept
   it and said they would send me an email so I could resent it…but I did not get
   that. Does my host need to fix this?
 * WordPress
    Below you should enter your database connection details. If you’re
   not sure about these, contact your host. Database Name The name of the database
   you want to run WP in. User Name Your MySQL username Password …and your MySQL
   password. Database Host You should be able to get this info from your web host,
   if localhost does not work. Table Prefix If you want to run multiple WordPress
   installations in a single database, change this.

 * Before you uploaded your files to your host, did you open in a text editor (like
   Notepad) – `wp-config-sample.php` – in the WordPress files, enter the Database
   Name, Database User, and Database Password from the database you created in the
   PHP Admin on your cPanel?
 * …and then rename the `wp-config-sample.php` to `wp-config.php`?
