If you have them you should open the wp-config-sample.php file for editing. Set the data
('DB_NAME', 'yourdatabasenamecomeshere'); // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'yourdatabaseusernamecomeshere'); // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'yourdatabasepasswordcomeshere'); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', 'yourdatabasehostcomeshere') /it's usually localhost.
As the next step you should save this file as wp-config.php. After finishing with it copy the content of the packaging directory via ftp to your server. Copy only the contant without the directory.
The last step will be installing by running the yourdomain.com/wp-admin/install.php file in your browser. Follow the steps and you will be happy  |
ok.. so, I already have one database with my website which is to do with it being e-commerce, should I use these existing details or.. should I create a new database specifically for the blog and if I do should I create an Access Host: (localhost) along with password etc?
I'm not sure what an access host is actually?
thanks
