    Ok, so I have installed WordPress, php and sql that were required. Now what??? There is no executable program and I have no idea how to get it going? This all started because I simply (haha) want to add a phone number to the contactinfo widget on my web site but has escalated to wanting to learn enough to administrate/edit my web site. Any direction to basic operating would be helpful. Step one – start WordPress???

    Sorry – in the wp-config file there is a line that says “define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘sql5c9b.megasqlservers.com’);” That is also in the Control Panel and it is the same in the wp-config file for Public.

    Ok, getting late here. Tired and starting to make a lot of mistakes so calling it a day. I will try again tomorrow. You have a good evening.

    So you’re telling me that the 2 wp-config.php files have the same hostname, is that correct?

    You have a different database name & username for both gsnetworks & newwp, right?

    1 weird thing I’ve found is that sometimes when I create a user for a database, I have to go back in & “change” the password in the control panel (even though it wasn’t wrong, save the changes, & then the database connection works. Please do not ask me why. It’s just 1 of those inexplicable things. You might try it.
