Bitnami made a new path for WP, and XAMPP doesn’t knows it at all. * Normally it should be `/opt/lampp/htdocs` but with Bitnami installation it becomes`/ opt/apps/wordpress/htdocs/` and this makes the difference in many other paths. How can this be an automated installation if it doesn’t see paths and/or links to them? * They should erase that word of “easier”. * Thread Starter [Abu Rasheedah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abu-rasheedah/) * (@abu-rasheedah) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-establishing-a-database-connection-604/#post-5252899) * The following is used for audio purpose.
