I did try searching this site prior to posting as I always do because it is often the quickest way to get an answer to a problem.

I have now found out the plugins are unavailable to the standard wordpress site but thank you for your reply anyway.

Thanks Daniel.

Jan, many thanks for your patience and perseverance. I have resolved the problem. I needed to change the WAMP root to point directly at the WordPress folder and then when I gave the WAMP details to WordPress I needed to forget about the port number and just use “localhost”

Thanks Daniel.

I am certain that this is a WordPress problem and not a WAMP problem. I have installed WAMP and WordPress on may systems but always on port 80. This is the first time I am trying it on a different port.

I have managed to find out how to change the WAMP root directory and now when I try to run the install I get this message:
```
<strong>Can’t select database</strong>
We were able to connect to the database server (which means your username and password is okay) but not able to select the wordpress database.

Are you sure it exists?
Does the user Daniel have permission to use the wordpress database?
On some systems the name of your database is prefixed with your username, so it would be like username_wordpress. Could that be the problem?
If you don't know how to set up a database you should contact your host. If all else fails you may find help at the WordPress Support Forums.
```
Thanks Daniel.

Does http://server_address:1024/wordpress/readme.html work?

Yes, that does work but the install still fails.

Thanks Daniel.

Tried this:

http://localhost:1024/wordpress/readme.html

And I can see the read me, the 5 minute install.

I would hope that the other PC’s can use the Intranet as:

http://server_address:1024

Thanks Daniel.

Jan, it is actually running on the file server (Windows 2003).

I have copied the WordPress files to:

c:\wamp\www\wordpress

If this the incorrect place to have them? When I did a test run on my PC, which can use port 80, it worked fine so I thought I would just reproduce the installation.

What is Instant WordPress? Is it a WordPress installation tool?

Thanks Daniel.

If I got to:-

http://localhost:1024

I get the WAMP Server page

OK, the browser can’t find the read me page on localhost:1024/readme.html

What does this tell me.

Thanks Daniel.

OK, what I want to do is get WordPress to run on the port that Apache is running 1024. During the setup process I tell WordPress to use localhost:1024 but I cannot find it. If I just tell it localhost it tells me it cannot find the database, that is where the SQL question came from.

B is what I am trying to do. WAMP server seems to run fine on port 1024 it’s WordPress that won’t install with this setup.

Thanks Daniel.

I have set the port number in the wp-config.php.
```
/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost:1024');
```
Sorry its like this not my previous post. I am using port 1024 for Apache.

Thanks Daniel

when I look in options-general.php, it looks like garbage and when I searched in the file for localhost it wasn’t there. Am I doing something wrong?

Sorry I meant Intranet no Internet. Does that shed any light on the problem?

Thanks for your reply.
