hmmmmmmmmmm, actually found a solution:

#Change upload limits

php_value memory_limit 34M
php_value post_max_size 33M
php_value upload_max_filesize 32M
php_value max_execution_time 600

#Change upload limits end

Found an answer that so far seems to be working:

If that’s the WampServer package, I think all you might need to do is click on the green icon in the system tray/tool bar area, select Apache > Apache modules > then scroll down the module list until you come to “rewrite_module”, and place a check mark next to it.That should enable mod_rewrite. You may have to restart apache, but I think WampServer automatically restarts for you in most cases.

Hi Pali,
My humble apologies for not being aware of the forum advise.
I did try to set up the config file.
Please see https://pastebin.com/XemQXALn for the code used as requested above.
thank you

hi
sorry about the delay in posting back.
About the pastebin, feel uncomfortable with posting info there since the forum guidelines don’t allow. (What is the code button for?) Sorry if this precludes any help.

About the db.I created it but there was no prompt for a user name or password. Is there a default set for this?
In the past, it seems that WP has automatically configured that, set it up for me.

Yes, the MySQL server is definitely working.

thank you.

Hi Pali,
Not sure what you mean by the pastebin site or which db details.
I created the db manually through phpMyAdmin.

esmi, I’m pretty sure the MySQL server is running. How would I check? I have other WP sites running locally.
(sound like a real newbie here! thanks for all your patience.)

thanks for getting back to me
local

hopefully not picking up the thread too tangentially or too late …

I went to the link above, made the php file

1. First, Make sure, MySql is running. Open PhpMyAdmin and connect the database.
2. Check User has sufficient permission to connect database. For this, Create a test page say testconnection.php, put following code and run it.

<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', 'password');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_close($link);
?>

and get this message:
Could not connect: Access denied for user ‘root’@’localhost’ (using password: YES)

I am totally lost as what to do.

thanks so much

Hi,
Me too, brand new to WP. Same kind of question …
I would like to have a “sandbox”-like area where I can work over the span of a few hours to a few days on a page(s) and adding to the navigation. Is this possible?
Is this what you’re talking about in the last link? (More questions if that’s the case.)
Thanks
Cheers,
