Hi folks,
I have just done a fresh re-install of Wampserver and have changed the port from 80 to 81 in anticipation of using IIS in the future.
I have a question concerning database creation now that I've changed the port to 81. I am trying to install Wordpress locally in order to create a development environment. I have installed Wordpress numerous times manually on my regular host without incident, but I am confused about database creation and hope someone might point me to a step-by-step, or be able to guide me a bit.
Here is what I have done:
Created a database named "wordpress"
The user is the default:
root localhost No ALL PRIVILEGES Yes Edit Privileges
Then I edited the wp-config.php to include this information:
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress'); // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'root'); // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', ''); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
define('DB_COLLATE', '');
Then I tried to load the Wordpress installation script by loading this in my browser:
[
localhost]
All I get is a 404 Not Found.
Can anyone point me in the right direction here? I sure would appreciate it. I have a sinking feeling that I'm just missing some simple step and that I'll be embarrassed when I find the solution
