This is the long version but give this a read.

It will explain the steps to install WordPress.

wp-config file is in your root directory.

The wp-config.php file is called wp-config-sample.php

Just rename the file to wp-config.php

It will be in the root directory as fahad112 mentioned

thank you for answers!!

i know that there is a wp-onfig-sample.php file. in which how to set config file are explained. i am a wordpress developer 2 year. and i know how to edit wp-config-sample.php. but my simple question is wp-config.php file not exist in root directory why.??

If this is a fresh installation where you just unzip or untar the WordPress package, it’s normal you don’t find the wp-config.php. you should only find a wp-config-sample.php

The wp-config.php file is only created when you start the installation process through your browser. this process create the wp-config.php with the information you put in the installation process forms.

Now if you want to configure your WordPress installation without following the installation process through the browser, you have to copy (or rename) yourself the wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php and then set the parameters in this file.

thank you.. Christophe..
