    what are the settings that need to be in the wp-config.php file if using bluehost? specifically the db_host field.
    thanks.

    <?php
    // ** MySQL settings ** //
    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘information_schema’); // The name of the database
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘???????‘); // Your MySQL username
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘ got this’); // …and password
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘????????’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

    // You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix
    $table_prefix = ‘wp1’; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

  • DB_HOST will be localhost.
    DB_NAME will be something like youraccountname_xxxxx
    DB_USER will be something like youraccountname_xxxxxxxx

    i got the DB_HOST right
    what would the “xxxxxx” signify for DB_NAME and DB_USER?

    The database name and the username you’ve created. You need to log into your control panel and look for the area where you can create a database. Then create one. Then you need to create a username and password to associate with the database. so the “xxxxx” would signify whatever name *you* gave to the database and user for that database (and the password – because you create that, too)
