There are but a few lines to edit in this section:
•
Where it says
putyourdbnamehere
, replace it with the name of your database (
wordpress
). Make
sure the name is inside the quotation marks; otherwise, it won't work.
•
Where it says
usernamehere
, replace it with the username you entered in step 10 from the last
section (which should be the same as the database).
•
Where it says
yourpasswordhere
, replace it with the password you entered in step 10 from the
last section.
•
Confirm that the DB_HOST line points to
localhost.
If it does, don't change it.
The last two items can usually be ignored. DB_CHARSET and DB_COLLATE relate to the character
set used by the database. Unless you are using Cyrillic or Asian-language characters, leave these
lines at the default settings.
The Authentication Unique Keys section of the configuration file is optional, but can help secure
your installation. Setting these keys makes it much harder for anyone bent on cracking your blog to
steal your login information, and you don't need to remember them. This section looks like this:
* Authentication Unique Keys.
*
* Change these to different unique phrases!
* You can generate these using the {@link https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/
WordPress.org secret-key service}
* You can change these at any point in time to invalidate all existing cookies. This
will force all users to have to log in again.
*
* @since 2.6.0
