paakofi,
Turn display_errors in php.ini on and access your wordpress again. You’ll see an error message.
Thanx arkgroup for your reply,
But I already have display_errors on…but I am having pointers that mysql database is the problem..the installation is just not getting through past the root, even though I have provided all the necessary user and password info in php.ini needed for wp install.
I also tried browsing xampp sample application ‘cd collection’ and got this error message:
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user ‘root’@’localhost’ (using password: NO) in C:\xampp\htdocs\xampp\cds.php on line 64
Could not connect to database!
Is MySQL running or did you change the password?
It looks like wp is not getting past my root user for mysql at all..I don’t know what configuration wp use to access the database..still confused though..Thanx
Ok….I rather turn on WP_DEBUG to true and got this error message:
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user ‘avs’@’localhost’ (using password: YES) in C:\xampp\htdocs\avs\wp-includes\wp-db.php on line 1036
Error establishing a database connection
This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost. This could mean your host’s database server is down.
* Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
* Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
* Are you sure that the database server is running?
If you’re unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.
phpmyadmin is running fine…I think I have hostname, username and password correct..so pls help!.
