 * Sounds reasonable for you to offer that opinion Earnoud but, I was hoping to 
   hear from folks with less of a bias on the subject.
 * In addition to whether PineGrow is a “safe” software tool to use on ones system,
   the premise could be extended to related areas (since it’s not an open source
   tool nor is it a product offered not for profit). An additional area that one
   can be found introduced on the web is how code can be inserted into WordPress
   themes that a user/purchaser of the theme is not aware and that siphons information
   from the site’s activities back to a third party.
 * I’m not implying that the tool would/could do that when generating themes, etc,
   but it seems like a reasonable question to ask the greater WordPress community.
   If a healthy number of recognized high-level developers can vouch for the integrity
   of the product, that could be a good thing for everyone. Correct?

 * Thanks for those responses.
 * I tried the suggestions posted by Dion, unfortunately they did not let me get
   past WP’s configuration page ([http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/setup-config.php](http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/setup-config.php)).
 * Then I went back to the phpMyAdmin page, removed the DB and User created for 
   WP and began trying different permentations of creating the user/db that would
   allow me to proceed past the …/setup-config.php page.
 * In the spirit of adding what I learned and that worked, I’ll post it here.
 * When creating a new user/db combination on the create new user page in phpMyAdmin
   the default Host value type is Any Host which was left unchanged in previous 
   unsuccessful attempts. In a recent attempt, the Host type was changed to Local
   and the following field was changed to Localhost. (The properly filled out phpMyAdmin/
   users page is displayed [ here](https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3SX6OHn_RZbaS1waG9sQnVoREU/view?usp=sharing))
 * This new variant allowed me to successfully complete the …/setup-config.php page(
   configuring WP and creating a wp-config.php file) and move to creating my first
   WP project. No doubt that approach would have seemed obvious to a seasoned WAMP/
   AMP server guru but for this newbie, it was a learning experience that will be
   shared for other newbs.
 * Cheers.
