Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: accessing installed WordPress on own computerThank you datasoftict! I followed the steps you outlined and ended up with a screen in my web browser that required me to enter Site Title, Username and Password. At the bottom of the screen was the button ‘Install WordPress’, which is what has been confusing me from the start because I had already installed WordPress. Anyway, clicking that button produced a Success! screen (which appeared instantly, which I assume meant that WordPress was already installed). The Success! screen required Log In, which I did and that produced Dashboard (which is what I’d been wanting to get to all along). So, thanks to you and thanks to fonglh too for your help.

In reply to: accessing installed WordPress on own computerThanks fonglh. I think I set up the database correctly. That step required me to fill in Database Administrator Password etc and took place immediately before the ‘Congratulations!’ window appeared. I supppose that, when I do the second installation of WordPress, I’ll be required to set up another database as part of that installation process. Maybe I’ll therefore end up with two databases.

In reply to: accessing installed WordPress on own computerThanks for your help datasoftict. I don’t know how WebMatrix got into the install process – it just appeared at the end. I’ve also got conflicting indications of whether I’m installed or not. The ‘Congratulations!’ window indicated that I have “successfully installed” WordPress, Microsoft WebMatrix, PHP 5.2.17 for WebMatrix, MySQL Windows 5.1 and eleven other products. However, http://localhost:36955 opens a webpage for installing WordPress (which I interpret as an indication that installation has not yet taken place). I think you’re saying that I should ignore the ‘Congratulations!’ and do another installation by following the prompts on the webpage opened by http://localhost:36955.
