 * I am using EasyPHP 1.8 and have gotten to the fourth step (puting all my WordPress
   files in the folder called “www” in my EasyPHP folder).
 * This is what my wp-config.php file looks like:
 * // ** MySQL settings ** //
    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘jacob’); // The name of the database
   define(‘DB_USER’, ‘jacob’); // Your MySQL username define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘kolla’);//…
   and password define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to 
   change this value
 * In MySQL I have created a database called Jacob and a user also called Jacob 
   that has “all priviligies”.
 * When I go to the fifth step to launch I get the following long error-message:
 * [moderated – raw code removed]
 * I have tried several times to start over again but I can’t seem to find the problem.
   It would be great if someone could help me!
 * If you need anymore specifikations, just ask.

 * easyPHP may well work and work well – I recommended xampp simply because I use
   it and it is very very easy to install and use.
 * For xampp, create a database called ‘wordpress’ with phpmyadmin, then the wp-
   config.php setting are;
 * `// ** MySQL settings ** //
    define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress'); // The name of the
   database define('DB_USER', 'root'); // Your MySQL username define('DB_PASSWORD','');//...
   and password define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to 
   change this value
 * I have no knowledge of easyPHP so I can’t advise on that – sorry.
