How To Connect Your MySQL Database With WordPress


I found this very good video on how to create a MySQL database for your WordPress blog. The video walks you through the setup of your database and how to add a user to it.

Then it goes into the setting up of your config.php file and what you have to do to upload your WordPress software to the server.

I know many new bloggers who first buy their own hosting="http://gobala.linktrackr.com/hostgator-bs:keywords">hosting are confused about this whole system. The guy in the video really did a great job of explaining how you can do this.

Check it out.

    I am looking for something a little more complicated. I have wordpress working and mysql configured. However, I would like to create a data entry form in my blog that sends information to another mysql database and also tie in to paypal. I can find lots of technical information but nowhere the exact step by step to do this.

    Hey, I’ve googled up to your site, where I was hoping to get some information on how to connect to the database but em I’ve had no such luck with the link as its broken. Any updates?

Got something to say?
