You will need install wordpress module in same directory you installed easyphp and that will setup your database and install wordpress.
The only problem I show was that I was not asked to enter any admin user name or password so I had to rest that in database.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_Password
scroll down will show to reset user name password in database.
I was rechecking and found that when you right click on icon in task bar and click administration and you will the module installed and if you click on info it will give the admin user name and password.
If you are using EasyPHP as a development server, don’t worry about the no root password warning. Simply ensure that the user you have chosen for WordPress has a password & full privileges.
Apache needs to have two changes made to it if you want custom permalinks – loading the rewrite module and allowing WordPress to use it.
To enable the rewrite module, you need to edit your Apache configuration file, which lives in <easy php dir>\conf_files\ and is named httpd.conf. Or right-click on the EasyPHP icon, select Configuration->Apache. This will launch the httpd.conf file in NotePad.
Find the line that reads:
# LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
And remove the hash sign (#) from the start of the line, so that it reads:
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
The second change is a permissions change in the same file.
Find the line that reads:
<Directory "${path}/www">
Then look a few lines down from that line to find the line that you need to change, which reads:
AllowOverride None
and change it to:
AllowOverride All
Save your httpd.conf file
Finally, restart the Apache server by right clicking EasyPHP icon in task bar, select “Stop”, wait about 5 seconds then right click the EasyPHP icon in task bar again and select “Start”.

Thank you both for your help. I followed your instructions.
I deleted the 3 other users I had created with PHPmyAdmin. Now I have 1 user “root” with no password.
I followed the steps in the link that govpatel provided above and re-set the WP-Users password.The last instruction is to confirm this with the log in screen. I can’t seem to find the log-in screen. Also the password I entered doesn’t seem to stick. After I follow the steps for re-setting it still retains that long default generated set of characters as a password. Not the one I entered when following the previous re-set process. I’ve tried this several times but whatever new password I type in doesn’t seem to stick.
Also it has my user name as admin and my e-mail as admin@domain.com. Should I change these?
esmi- Thanks for your ongoing help. I followed your instructions. the edits to the httpd.conf that you outline were already in place when I opened the file. The # was already removed from LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite. And the AllowOveride was already set to All.
I think I have everything installed and configured correctly except for that WP-users password problem.I think I should get this set to my own password but it just won’t stay with what I enter.
Also, I have read through the docs and under first steps for beginners, it says to go to the WP Admin panel. I feel kind of stupid but I cannot find how to start WordPress or get to this panel. I have used the Admin panel for the site that I have been administering that is on a remote server. How do I get to that panel on the WordPress that I have installed on my computer?
Thanks for your help!

OK I poked around some more and figured out how to start the WordPress login from the EasyPHP Admin screen. I entered my user name as admin and then used the password that I had typed in but that didn’t appear to be sticking.
Surprise to me – it worked and I now have the wordpress dashboard open for use. No doubt I’ll have more questions but I seem to have it up and running correctly now.
Thanks for your help!!!!!!!!!
Did you install the module or did you install wordpress in root.
they two different installs.
Installing a module will do all the work and all you need to is click on info get the user name and password click on back office and enter user name password.
If you unzipped the wordpress in www folder then you need to run the install program.

Hi and thanks for your reply. I installed the module. I seem to have it all working as it should at this time.
