Wordpress installation problem

Hi all

I am trying to install wordpress, i have changed the wp-config.php file and edited the requested information for connecting to database, but when i try to install it on server i get an error message which tells me that my information are not correct !
But when i try to connect to database with php myadmin or mysql query browser i can easily connect to database !
So what is the problem ?

Some hosts add a prefix to the database name?

Make sure you have left all the syntax as it is, IE not deleted a " or a ; at all. Post your config file here if you like, we can check it. (Obviously remove your password.)

Stupid question, but you have uploaded it, and into the right directory?

I have uploaded it, but what is the right directory ?!

here is my config file :

PHP: Select all

<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', 'wp');    // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'testwp');     // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', '******'); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');    // 99% chance you won't need to change this value
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
define('DB_COLLATE', '');

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

// Change this to localize WordPress.  A corresponding MO file for the
// chosen language must be installed to wp-content/languages.
// For example, install de.mo to wp-content/languages and set WPLANG to 'de'
// to enable German language support.
define ('WPLANG', '');

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/');
require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php');
?>

I think it's quite obvious that it has been uploaded otherwise marSoul would not receive an error.
Prefixes are most likely the problem as phpmyadmin doesn't like to show them.
It's usually cpanelusername_databaseusername

I doubt this is a wordpress error, most likely just incorret info but you could test with:

PHP: Select all

mysql_connect('localhost', 'username!', 'password!') or die (mysql_error()); 

I have tested the connection with mysql query browser software or php my admin from control panel and both of them connect to database successfully

The correct directory is the root directory I think.

Alex is right, if it was in the wrong directory you would get a different error. This is rather strange. You could try contacting your host.

PHPMyAdmin should do it automatically so doesn't really tell you whether you have the right info or not.
Do you use Cpanel?

No it is hosted by Plesk
