Hi,
> I installed and setup wampserver 2.5
Why version 2.5 ? It is two years old.
Il will be better to use Wampserver 3.0.4 :
WAMPserver 3 - All you need to know> root directory as "C:/Program Files/wamp/wamp/www/wordpress"
Don't install Wampserver with a path comporting space in it as a space is the delimiter for Apache and PHP CLI parameters.
Install wampserver at a root of a disk or partition : c:\wamp\ or d:\wamp\.
> localhost:88/wordpress
Why port 88 ? The port defined for http protocol is 80
> localhost:88/wordpress
You must launch the local site by 'http://wordpress/' without adding a supplementary level localhost ; so you need to install Wordpress as VirtualHost to avoid problems :
