Sorry, but I can’t write the wp-config.php file.
You can create the wp-config.php manually and paste the following text into it.

    [root@server ~]# cp /var/www/blog/wp-config-sample.php /var/www/blog/wp-config.php

10. Modify the wp-config.php:

    root@server ~]# vi /var/www/blog/wp-config.php

Change below line to above:

    /** The name of the database for WordPress = Line 19 */
define('DB_NAME', 'database_name_here');

/** MySQL database username = Line 22 */
define('DB_USER', 'username_here');

/** MySQL database password = Line 25 */
