Hi community
I’ve installed instantWP_4.5 on a Windows 10 laptop and I got the correct page on 127.0.0.1:4001/instantwp/index.php, but when I tried to click on the WordPress Admin button I got the message
Error establishing a database connection.
Can anybody please tell me what I have to do?
Regards
pebi1

I haven’t tried InstantWP in a while (but I liked what I saw when I did) can you confirm that mysql is running as a service on Windows 10? You should be able to see that in Windows 10 control panel.

No, mysql is not running, but I haven’t found it on my windows7 laptop either. But there the process mysqld is running. Mysqld is not running on the windows 10 laptop.

To be honest, I’m nut sure if mysql would show up as a service on InstantWP but the error message you’re getting makes it look as if mysql isn’t running.

Have you tried restarting or re-installing InstantWP?
