Yes, changed apache to port 8080 (from 80) b/c it was hanging up there even though I killed IIS.

Rich, if you’re still here, I am following this guys instructions https://www.johntp.com/2006/06/03/how-to-setup-wordpress-in-easyphp/ and get all the way to administering the DB (after some issues getting apache started) and now get this error “#1045 – Access denied for user ‘root’@’localhost’ (using password: NO)” and it will not connect to the DB.

I’ll try the EasyPhp. I checked the WebPI install and it get’s all the way to the MySql install and tanks. says it ‘access denied for ‘root’@’localhost'(using password:YES) and fails. I tried to start MySql service manually and got a 1067 error. I even un-an-reinstalled MySql, no dice.

Thanks guys, much further along now. Just trying to configure MySql at this point.

No Apache. Wasn’t listed in the requirements.
