I am looking at wordpress as a CMS website for a friend. I have installed the windows XAmpp package from apachefriends and can get Joomla to install and test. WordPress cannot find the database which I have set up in the wpadmin…cannot connect. I am using localhost for the server and it cannot find it. I have changed the config file as instructed and it cannot connect. Does anyone have any solutions on this. phpMyDmin shows the user is correct, the db is correct, and shows the server as localhost.
Does the ABSPATH have to set with the path?? In the sample config file it does not show a place for editing as the other lines of code indicated. Any help would be appreciated.
