Need help re: privileges

[brooklyn71]

My host lists the following as privileges:

Read
read/write
DBA

Which one should I choose when trying to do the WP install. The video states to choose all,but that's in a CPanel scenario. My host does not use CPanle.

With the installer it doesn't matter what Control Panel you use. Cpanel, Plesk or any other it shouldn't make a difference.

The best way to find out what permission you should use is try both. First try 777 and if that doesn't work try 755.

Hi Brooklyn71,

It changes the permissions via ftp not via cpanel or anything else, so if your server uses standard ftp practices then you should be fine.

Let us know how you go.

Thanks

Its me again I have been deleting and reinstalling for 7 days now and I am still getting the same message

'Warning: ftp_mkdir() [function.ftp-mkdir]: Can't create directory: File exists in /home/wwwplr/public_html/wp/user/index.php on line 53

Warning: ftp_mkdir() [function.ftp-mkdir]: Can't create directory: File exists in /home/wwwplr/public_html/wp/user/index.php on line 53

Upload Complete!!

Configuration File modified.
SQL File modified.

Header image uploaded successfully. '

and

'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 localhost. This could mean your host's database server is down.

* Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
* Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
* Are you sure that the database server is running?'



A little help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Pm me with your details to access the blog, and I will need a screenshot of the fields filled out on the form.

I just replied to one of your other posts so we can move forward with your installs.

Thanks
Marc
