I am trying to install Wordpress on WAMP
I changed my localhost path to localhost:11245 in the WAMP config file, so when I load my apache admin screen I go to localhost:11245
When I loaded Wordpress, localhost:11245/wordpress, it prompted me to enter the admin information, that is what I entered :
- Database Name :
wordpress - User Name :
wpadmin - Password :
blank - Database Host :
localhost:11245 - Table prefix :
wp_
When I click Submit, it loads indefinitely. Somehow I made it come up with the following error. I imagine this has something to do with me changing the port
number.
Welcome to WordPress. Before getting started, we need some information on the database. You will need to know the following items before proceeding.
- Database name
- Database username
- Database password
- Database host
- Table prefix (if you want to run more than one WordPress in a single database)
If for any reason this automatic file creation doesn't work, don't worry. All this does is fill in the database information to a configuration file. You may also simply open wp-config-sample.php in a text editor, fill in your information, and save it as wp-config.php.
In all likelihood, these items were supplied to you by your Web Host. If you do not have this information, then you will need to contact them before you can continue. If you’re all ready…
How can I get it to install?
EDIT
I was able to get WAMP to route to localhost, then I ran localhost/wordpress and went through the setup screen again with these settings :
- Database Name :
wordpress - User Name :
root - Password : ``
- Database Host :
localhost - Table prefix :
wp_
I just ran a php page with this info on it and it returned Connection OK
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost','root','');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect to MySQL: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connection OK'; mysql_close($link);
?>
