• I have some problem with the installation of WordPress on my pc.
    First of all, I’m using XAMMP and, since my port 80 was already busy, I changed it with 8080.
    I describe in detail all I did
    (I’m using Firefox, but I have the same problems with IE and Chrome):

    1) on my browser I did http://localhost:8080/phpmyadmin/ and created a new database
    DB Name: unimadb

    2) I went on the directory
    C:\xampp\htdocs\unimawp
    and renamed wp-config-sample.php into wp-config.php

    3) I edited wp-config.php like this

    define('DB_NAME', 'unimadb');
    define('DB_USER', 'root');
    define('DB_PASSWORD', '');
    define('DB_HOST', 'localhost:8080');
    define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
    define('DB_COLLATE', '');

    4) On my browser:
    http://localhost:8080/unimawp/wp-admin/install.php
    and now, nothing happen.
    It spends minutes (like 5/10 min) in loading the page but it stays blank.

    Would someone help me, please?

  • try double cheking inside /phpmyadmin folder to see what it says next to Server:, its usually Server:localhost. Also try 127.0.0.1:8080. But whatever it says next to server should be it. Thee rest seems ok to me. I might be wrong but its worth a shot.

    Try this line for DB_HOST and see if it helps:

    define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
