 * The DB should be “mysql”, not “wordpress”.
 * Log into phpmyadmin and you will see the db name. Make sure to add a user and
   password with all rights/privileges. Use that as your username instead of “root”.
   Do not add a password to root, it will cause phpmyadmin to crash.
 * Under WAMP, all files s/b here: C:\wamp\www\wordpress\ (wordpress optional & 
   highly recommended so you don’t overwrite the localhost index.php)
 * XAMPP should have a similar named folder.
 * Good luck…techdork
