trying to run with wamp. can’t get it to work!!!
-
I am running vista 64
I have found several tutorials on installing and using WP on a local server. Unfortunately I can not get it to run. I downloaded wamp and made a database called wordpress. I moved the wp folder to www folder in wamp.
I then went to the wp-config-sample and changed the user name to wordpress
and then root for user and root for password and local to localhost:8889.
I then save this as wp-config.php (removing he word sample)I then move to the “database connection details” page and enter the same info I did for wp-config. I leave the “table prefix” to wp.
when I hit submit I get “Error establishing a database connection”
How can I get this to work?
I read in one post you have to run the install.php in a web browser but it wouldn’t run.
What am I missing or doing wrong???
