Well what is the exact problem?

Put the information about your database into the config. You should have got the information from the people Hosting your website.

For the database server its usually localhost or you may have to use localhost:3306 . The username and password will be the Username and Password for accessing the database (might not be the same as the username and pass to access your server)

If this doesnt help feel free to PM me and i will assist

Be sure to start all services, them follow the instructions, usually just paste the scripts in a new folder inside the "www" folder.

Then just edit the config files or other things.

In username use "root", password should be in black, and host is "localhost".

Hope it helps you!

That's when your local server. But I think he's on about a web server now.

My advice would be to contact your hosting provider.
