    Y asked me to create a database with phpMyadmin, which i did, naming the folder it was created in “database”; which is one of two folders in the root directory–the other being the “blog” folder which contains all the wordpress files.

    where does the database need to be located in relation to the wordpress files? i just can’t figure it out; and i couldn’t find the User Privileges interface mentioned in the Codex anywhere on there 🙁

    the host (*cough*Yahoo*cough*) required me to install it–“phpmyadmin”; and asked me to select a directory to install it in–i went through the help files and i couldn’t find “preferable install location” anywhere in it…

    where would the database be in relation to the wordpress files traditionally?

    edit: should it be inside the blog folder? :-s
    how does wp-config or install connect to the database? would the difference in directory levels be what’s causing the problem?
