i also see 1st link but this is very complicated and
Yes, it’s a lot of new info, but like most things, you have to start somewhere. Many people started out where you are and are now very good with WP. Maybe try YouTube too – there are LOTS of videos about how to use WordPress.
Just to piggyback off of what @wpyogi said, here are a couple of more resources specific to XAMPP / WordPress.
A YouTube vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xo_Q3V1QSdg. I haven’t watched it but it seems to have good ratings.
Also, here is a blog article http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/how-to-install-wordpress-locally-for-pcwindows-with-xampp/
Good luck and don’t give up 🙂

`// ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wp’);
/** MySQL database username */

/** MySQL database password */

will you please tell me how i resolve this
If you are installing on Localhost, I’d suggest starting a new thread in this forum:

Well, I’m a little confused. According to your screenshot you are running IIS (Microsoft’s web server) and what we’ve been discussing is XAMPP (Apache web server). Have you ever installed or tried to install any Microsoft web server software?
Turn off Microsoft IIS server, so that XAMPP will be the webserver you’re using.
@mark senff how to turn off Microsoft IIS server
ok now i stop iis but when i try to open this
http://localhost/wp/ it shows me error

Try typing http://localhost/ (without the /wp as above) into your browsers address bar. You should see the XAMPP start page. If you do not then XAMPP is not configured properly.
but when i open this link http://localhost:8080/xampp/ it shows me this xampp page
xampp
but when i open this link http://localhost/ it shows me above same error ….
Not Found
HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found.
This is probably because XAMPP was installed after IIS and was configured to port 8080. Try changing the XAMPP apache port to it’s default of 80. Here are some simple instructions to do so https://awaissoftnews.wordpress.com/2014/01/09/how-to-change-the-apache-port-in-xampp/
but when i click netstat button it shows me port 80 on system..
