Sorry, doodlebee! Everything looks good until the last step. It says:
In your browser, go to http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php and everything from there should run smoothly !
So even though the Xampp control panel says MySql and Apache are running ok, and I can see that the WordPress database exists, I get the error like it can’t find my WordPress database.
It’s probably something so simple that I didn’t do…
Okay, then, it appears I haven’t done anything wrong with the WordPress installation. All seems fine with Xampp…I wonder if it could be a setting somewhere that just needs to be changed…
I’m at a loss :[
