Hi, I want to install Wordpress onto my site. Thing is, I've never worked with MySQL or PHP before. Can someone walk me through this process from the start? I haven't created a database yet.

Thanks

here is a simple tutorial on installing Wordpress on zymic first login to your hosting account and go to mySQL Database management see in screenshot below



now you should see a page like mine below the steps to creating your database are described below the screenshot



1. Enter the database name and click "create database name".
2. Enter the username and password and click "create username".
3. Choose the username and database name you just created from the dropdown boxes and assign required privileges now you have finished creating the database.


download wordpress from http://wordpress.org/download/ extract the files and rename the file wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php then open it with a text editor and fill the details in with your password, database name and username then upload the files to your server and open your web browser then navigate to your site and follow the instructions to finish the install

The situation is this:
1) I made laclasedeliteratura.vndv.com then reading the forums... I realized that 16 max. characters issue
2) I made liter.vndv.com , then on the wp-config.php i changed the following info:
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'liter_db');

/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'liter_user');

/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', '******');

/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'liter.vndv.com');

3) Still getting the next error:
"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 liter.vndv.com. This could mean your host's database server is down."

How do you think I can connect from laclasedeliteratura... to the db on liter.vndv.com ?
Thank you!!!!!

Hostname needs to be localhost (not liter.vndv.com).

So it's not possible to call the db at liter.vndv.com from laclasedeliteratura.vndv.com ?
I don't want to use the short name for the url..
I don't know if I explain myself well here.
Thank you.

Yes you can call it from liter.vndv.com (which is short enough) to your actual wordpress on the longer one. Still needs to be localhost as hostname though.

So you mean that in the wp-config at laclasedeliteratura.vndv.com I just put : "liter_db" ? insead of "laclasedeliteratura_db"!?
Regards.

Correct

Thank you! It works. Now I have another problem at "liter.vndv.com".

help me, please.
My settings of databese in screenshot.
And here's the wp-config.php

define('DB_NAME', 'eminazeri_clanteam_db');
define('DB_USER', '90205_eminazeri');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'xxxxxx');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
define('DB_COLLATE', '');

but I have this error message when open /wp-admin/install.php

We were able to connect to the database server (which means your username and password is okay) but not able to select the eminazeri_clanteam_db database.

* Are you sure it exists?
* Does the user 90205_eminazeri have permission to use the eminazeri_clanteam_db database?
* On some systems the name of your database is prefixed with your username, so it would be like username_ eminazeri_clanteam_db. Could that be the problem?

i solved the problem
