wp-config.php Sample File

This is a sample wp-config.php file which is included when you download WordPress manually or install WordPress using a software script.

Your wp-config.php file will be automatically edited with your new database access details when you install WordPress automatically using a one click installation script in cPanel provided by the best web hosts.

If you are installing WordPress manually, you’ll need to edit the wp-config.php sample file manually.

Most of the time you will only need to edit the following access details in Bold including:

1. Database Name – Database Name used by WordPress
2. Database Username – Username used to access Database
3. Database Password – Password used by Username to access Database
4. Database Host – The hostname of your Database Server

You’ll create these details when you create a database using the MYSQL Database Wizard in the databases section in your cPanel web hosting account.
