    I am lost. I finally got my wamp to work. I go into the MyPhpAdmin to set up a database and so forth. Everything looks good. I had to set up a localhost as localhost:8080. So now when I get started to install WordPress, I enter the information that is request, name of web sit: wordpress-test, username: root, localhost: localhost:8080 and left the other spot alone. Then it goes through its steps, then give me a blank page, http 500 error. I am lost, not sure what to do. I read on some sites about a .htaccess, I do not even have one of those either. Please I really need help so that I can start to use this program. Thank you in advance.

    I tried, what you have sent and nothing is working. I even tried AMPPS. This is getting very
    frustrating. Is there anyone that can give straight answers in how to make this work. I at the point where I am starting to think wordpress is not worth the trouble.

    500 error is a generic error message. Doesn’t tell you want went wrong. You can see error message by Turning on error reporting in php.ini

    .htaccess file will be created by WordPress after completing installation and setting up of permalink. Nothing to do with your issue.

    You can try using MAMP of windows which is a much easier software to use. If not, you can subscribe to cheap web hosting account online and get their support to setup WordPress for you, instead of trying to work offline and have big problem when you try to migrate online after completion.
