Ugh im so frustrated. Im not sure what Im going wrong. I followed everything step by step. I am at the Run the Install Script step but when I go to http://le-sigh.com/wp-admin/install.php, I get a 404 error.

I put the whole wordpress folder into my /public_html/ folder (root folder) that part is right, no? Am I not supposed to put the whole folder in? If not, then which files?

Everything else is looking good. My wp-config.php looks like this:

<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress'); // goseek12_wordpress
define('DB_USER', 'username'); // ******
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password'); // *****
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // localhost

// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple blogs in a single database.
$table_prefix = 'wp_'; // example: 'wp_' or 'b2' or 'mylogin_'

// Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
// chosen language must be installed to wp-includes/languages.
// For example, install de.mo to wp-includes/languages and set WPLANG to 'de'
// to enable German language support.
define ('WPLANG', '');

/* Stop editing */

define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/');
require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php');
?>

Im pretty sure my database is running. This is what it reads:
goseek12_wordpress
Users in wordpress
goseek12_word (Privileges: ALL PRIVILEGES)

Connection Strings
Perl $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:goseek12_wordpress:localhost","goseek12_word","<PASSWORD HERE>");
PHP $dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "goseek12_word", "<PASSWORD HERE>") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("goseek12_wordpress");

Is something wrong?

If someone can help me Id realllly realllly appreciate it. Get a hold of me on aim- 'viciouspy' or email me at spybabygirl@yahoo.com

Please, someone, ive been working on this all nite with no luck!

Thanx so much!

EDIT:
ooh take out your username and password!!

but other than that, you can delete this. i was wrong.. sorry!

i dont know I think I got it now. im getting a different error though so you can close this!

you are supposed to change the red parts with your info

<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress'); // goseek12_wordpress
define('DB_USER', 'username'); // ******
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password'); // *****
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // localhost

^ She did, I edited them out of her post though.

^ She did, I edited them out of her post though.

Oh, the way it looks, it looks like she put them after the // marks...

I did have them after the //

Is it supposed to be like this then? Or is it supposed to be like that AND after the //?

<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress'); //
define('DB_USER', 'username'); //
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password'); //
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); //

Should be like this:

<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', 'goseek12_wordpress'); //
define('DB_USER', '******'); //
define('DB_PASSWORD', '*****'); //
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); //

Ok, I got it installed now, thank you so much! I do have another question about customization and such. When I go to my site, www.le-sigh.com and if I click any of the links in the blog it just opens up inside the frame. I want to delete all the unnecessary links and the search and archives, etc but Im not sure how to do that either. The question for now is how can I get the links to pop-up, especially comments?

Go to either your sidebar.php file or your index.php file and delete everything that doesn't pertain to your entries. You can find out more about customization and such here (http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags). Good Luck!

K I changed to cute news so you can close this!
