    Trying to set-up 4.7 on Windows 10 Home, Abyss Web Server X1(v 2.11.2) with HeidiSQL (9.4.0.5125) as DB Server.

    I am hosting my wife’s site on a home computer. Everything is working great. Now she would like to use WordPress for her forum. I am a basic user, please be kind with terms and instructions.

    Thanks
    Troy

    Hello, have you tried this? https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/wordpress-installation-on-windows-10-with-wamp-not-working/ (perhaps you have some port conflict like wamp had in this case)

    yes, now it comes up with:
    HTTP 500 error
    That’s odd… the website can’t display this page
    The site may be under maintenance or could have a programming error.

    Should I be using another database server? If so, is there an easy one to setup, run and provide admin?

    1. Can you able to access the admin panel ? If so, try updating permalinks from Settings -> Permalinks option.

    2. If #1 is not possible, try deleting your .htaccess file ( mostly hidden by default, do ‘Show hidden files’) and try to access your backend /wp-admin

    3. If #1 is possible, try switching to default themes to rule out if it because of any broken themes.

    4. If #1, #2, #3 is not valid, try installing the fresh WP with new database.

    Note : Further please reference check your system requirements https://ww.wp.xz.cn/about/requirements/

    HeidiSQL uses MySQL so that shouldn’t be an issue.

    It’s possible there is a problem with directory permissions. Check if you have permissions

    It’s also possible the database driver (HeidiSQL) don’t work well.

    Did you try that on a full linux stack? (LAMP/LEMP)? With full MySQL of course –> then translate (not in local webserver, in a real vps or cloud).
