Hi. Yesterday I installed xampp in order to do some test on wordpress on my laptop. the version of xampp is 1.7.7 and php is working accordingly.
Next, I did the database and user steps creation on phpmyadmin. then, I edited the file wp-config-sample which i renamed afterwards to wp-config.
despite following all these steps I got the "php is not running" error. Is there any extra steps am I missing?
Hi hildergarn,
This post really should be in the Localhost Installs area of the forum but I did find a similar post that was resolved:

Hope this helps!

Hi Christini. Its sounds funny but that was the post I used to helped me yesterday with no success :(
Hello again hildergarn,
I noticed this from http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/xampp/
Download and unzip WordPress.
Open the file wp-config-sample.php
These are the exact details you need for Xampp to work because the default user in phpmyadmin is called 'root' and there is no password.`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`Copy those details into your wp-config file, and save it as wp-config.php
Found that courtesy of:

If this doesn't take care of it, I would suggest posting this question in the localhost part of the forum.
Good luck!

@hildergarn
Are you accessing the install page using your browser from http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php - or - are you trying to open the install.php file directly by double clicking (or right click, open with)?

Thanks everyone. It seems the issue was due some missing letter (typo) hheheh.
Now it's running properly :)
