okay. a friend of mine reccommended wordpress to me to use for my website. and i have been trying to install it for hours now. i have no clue what i am doing.
i created a database. installation instructions from wordpress say "if a database relating to wordpress does not already exist in the database dropdown menu on the left, create one" but all i see is to create a table, and how many fields. then, it tells you to edit privileges, and to create a user. but i thought, in creating the database itself, i already created a user? but it says i have no privileges and i have no clue how to change them.
i've tried entering in my database, my username and my password that i created for the database itself and running the install process but instead all i get are error messages saying i didn't edit the config.php when i already did.
i am so confused. please someone explain to me what i'm doing wrong. it's probably something stupid, but i desperately need some help.
