I have bought my very first domain and now I am trying to install wordpress on my webhotel. There’s problems, and I don’t know where it lays. I know my host supports the minimum requirements for wordpress. I have created a database and entered the information (name,user,pass,host) to the wp-config file and uploaded it along with the rest of the unzipped wordpress files. Then I try to acess http://www.yourdomain.com/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php (yes it’s the right path) and this is the message I recieve:
I have gone over everything so many times to try locate the problem(s). I’ve gone over a few basically the same manuals on how to install wordpress created by different people. I’ve googled for answeres. I’ve created a new database, and much more. But I can’t make it work. I really wish to get it to work soon so that I can continue to build my website. I am so excited and this problem annoys me. Does anyone have any ideas?
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
My host is that 1% so I have changed localhost to the correct one.
I have a few thoughts, being a newbie I wouldn’t know if I could be right.
I been thinking if there’s any settings that I need to change inside the database.
Contacting my provider to ask for help isn’t the first thing I want to do, but if all else fails I will have to. I have however posted my questions in my hosts forum, and thought I would do so here also. Thankful for any help.

Did you get this worked out yet?
Good luck, I never could figure that stuff out.
