The sceond post was an accident. Sorry!
The instructions specifically state in step 3:
1. Download and unzip the WordPress package, if you haven’t already.
2. Create a database for WordPress on your web server, as well as a MySQL user who has all privileges for accessing and modifying it.
3. Rename the wp-config-sample.php file to wp-config.php.
4. Open wp-config.php in your favorite text editor and fill in your database details.
Subsequently, I found I used the wrong path. It is: https://www.spiritcommunity.com/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php
The message there is:
Error establishing a database connection
This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost. This could mean your host’s database server is down.
Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
Are you sure that the database server is running?
Hence, step 2 seems to be my problem. I don’t understand what I need to do about setting up the database, as I never worked with that part of my server before.
