 * Hi Adeel,
 * Just to confirm if you go into the ‘conference’ folder under your localhost section
   all the WordPress files are in there (wp-config.php, wp-cron.php, wp-settings.
   php etc)?
 * I assume those credentials match the user that you have created in your MySQL
   database?
    Have you set the ‘Database Host’ to ‘localhost’.
 * Thanks.
