 * Sorry, doodlebee! Everything looks good until the last step. It says:
 * > In your browser, go to [http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php](http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php)
   > and everything from there should run smoothly !

   find my WordPress database.

   All seems fine with Xampp…I wonder if it could be a setting somewhere that just
   needs to be changed…
    I’m at a loss :[
