How To Connect Your MySQL Database With WordPress
April 9, 2008 | By Gobala Krishnan | 2 Comments »
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.

Got something to say?

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?
