 * I cannot seem to get where to put this. I put in those key thingies and my hostname,
   username and password and localhost. But that last long text thing. Where those
   that go?
 * It just keep saying when i try to run install._ Sorry, but I can’t write the 
   wp-config.php file._
 * You can create the wp-config.php manually and paste the following text into it.
 * (Try and explain it as easy as possible as i am not good at computer language
   and english is not my first language. I gotten this far by now. And hopefully
   i can figure this one out too. I broke my blog somehow and came to googling all
   night to this but i dont understand it much. Got teamviewer if anyone feel like
   helping me out or if they are kind and understandable enough to explain it so
   I can understand.)

 * What do you mean with that ‘last long text thing’? all that should be needed 
   is your database name, database user, database password and database host. Also
   make sure you renamed the file wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php
 * Finnaly make sure your file has writing permissions, CHMOD (Write permission)
   the file to 640, you can read more about changing file permissions [here](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions)
