Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Installation Issues – PHP Error Message and Blank PagesExcellent, I have everything working correctly.
I started over with a fresh copy of wordpress and did not edit the wp-config.php file. Then I followed the directions which and still got errors where it couldn’t communicate with the database. I went into phpmyadmin and noticed that the user wordpress was on the host ‘any host’ – I’d forgotten to change it to ‘localhost’. After changing that, everything went smoothly.
Thank you for your help!

In reply to: Installation Issues – PHP Error Message and Blank Pages@fonglh: Yes, my wordpress database user has full rights.
@arkgroup: There are three values under display_error in the php.ini file.
The default value and development value are both ‘on’, and the production value is off. Should I change that?The syntax error is something I did on purpose (by adding an extra quotation mark) to check whether it was still processing the php, and I removed it after I got the syntax error message.
How do I let WordPress create the wp-config file?
This means database user root at localhost database server.
Should it say database user wordpress (the user I created) at wordpress (the database I created) database server instead?

In reply to: Installation Issues – PHP Error Message and Blank PagesAlso, on the phpmyinfo homepage, on the right side under the heading MySQL, it says “user: root@localhost”. Should that be something to do with the wordpress user I created instead? Sorry about all of this potentially meaningless information.

In reply to: Installation Issues – PHP Error Message and Blank PagesLooking at the ‘Privileges’ tab in the wordpress database I created before, I’m seeing that there are four users – 3 named root, and the 1 named wordpress that I created. Each of the ones named root have different hosts (127.0.0.1, ::1, and localhost), and the host for the user named wordpress is %. Does this have any significance, or should it not affect anything?

In reply to: Installation Issues – PHP Error Message and Blank PagesThanks for the speedy reply.
I know that PHP is working because I have another site coded in PHP on WAMP that is still working fine.
