problems putting WP on my hardrive
-
Used the following instructions to install on my computer.
http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/xampp/
I use XP Pro…IIS is disabled as far as I can tell.
This step, I think, is where things go wrong:
Open the file wp-config-sample.php
These are the exact details you need for Xampp to work because the default user in phpmyadmin is called ‘root’ and there is no password.
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 valueCopy those details into your wp-config file, and save it as wp-config.php
It’s not totally clear what I should be doing here. Clarification needed.
Thanks,
Ollie
