Yes, that’s exactly what I was doing, but can not go through the step 4 cause I can not
“Visit your local site (localhost:port or localhost:port/wordpress),”
¿?
Your site localhost:8888/wordpress not :port/wordpress
Yes I know, that’s how I did it, it seems that the local host is reached but the communication with the database is failing. What can it be?
I also tried changing port to 80, but didn’t work either
If thats the database error then it may be one of the error regarding this
Database Name: yourdatabasename
User Name (database): root
Password (database): root
Database Host/server: localhost
Table Prefix: wp_
look for it if its correct. wp-config.php file in wordpress folder
Yes I checked, that too but still not connecting with the database. I don’t really understand where the error could be
http://localhost/phpmyadmin and create a database then go the wordpress folder wp-config.php file
Details with your db name
username: root
Password: should be blank
then run your site on localhost
Are you running you MAMP with Apache and MySQL running.
One of the database information is incorrect. Do create a new database and assign username and password with all privileges given to the new user.
I had the same problem: I used a new user account to install WordPress and get the connection error. After checking the user information on mySQL, I changed the host for the user login from “Any host” to “Local” (in Add User). The problem was solved. This is how I did it:
1. Go to phpMyAdmin
2. Click “Users” tab
3. Check the host information of the user you use to create WordPress. If it is set to “Any”, remove the user account and create a new account with Host field set to “local”.
4. Grant all privileges to the user.
5. Continue with WordPress installation.
Hope this help.
Hi everybody thank you very much to all of you. I finally found the problem: the issue was in the ” ‘ ” character in WP-Config.php file. I used search&replaced to find a different one (not curved one), in the beginning and in the end it always has to be straight.
I guess the text editor automatically changed it.
Ciao!
