I went through all the steps as recommended by buddha trance, and then got stuck at the bit where it says ‘open the file ‘wp_ config_sample.php’
I opened the file using word pad, and copied the details as suggested, but it would only save as a txt file, rather than with the suffix ‘.php’
Consequently when I opened https://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php in my browser I got an error message saying that there doesn’t seem to be wp_config_php file, and that I should create a configuration file.
What have I done wrong and where do I go from here?
