 * I think I’ve done everything right – but still when i put in the url to install
   wordpress in the database i get the message that either the wp-config is wrong
   or the connection is wrong.
    ive checked the config – i think its right. and 
   the connection is on. any tips of what to do? i used wrangler to edit the config-
   file I appreciate any help

 * Try deleting your wp-config.php file and allow WordPress to create it as part
   of the installation.
