Problem with installing (9 posts)

    I am using EasyPHP 1.8 and have gotten to the fourth step (puting all my WordPress files in the folder called "www" in my EasyPHP folder).

    This is what my wp-config.php file looks like:

    // ** MySQL settings ** //
    define('DB_NAME', 'jacob'); // The name of the database
    define('DB_USER', 'jacob'); // Your MySQL username
    define('DB_PASSWORD', 'kolla'); // ...and password
    define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value

    In MySQL I have created a database called Jacob and a user also called Jacob that has "all priviligies".

    When I go to the fifth step to launch I get the following long error-message:

    [moderated - raw code removed]

    I have tried several times to start over again but I can't seem to find the problem. It would be great if someone could help me!

    If you need anymore specifikations, just ask.

    I'm not having a webhotel yet, I'm trying to get it to run on my computer. I thought it worked with apache as server?

    thanks

    The above makes it very easy.

    easyPHP may well work and work well - I recommended xampp simply because I use it and it is very very easy to install and use.

    For xampp, create a database called 'wordpress' with phpmyadmin, then the wp-config.php setting are;

    // ** MySQL settings ** //
    define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress'); // The name of the database
    define('DB_USER', 'root'); // Your MySQL username
    define('DB_PASSWORD', ''); // ...and password
    define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value

    I have no knowledge of easyPHP so I can't advise on that - sorry.
