Hi,
I have been following the instructions given in the book Building Websites in Expression Engine 1.6 by Leonard Murphy.
I have installed xampp and it is running. Xampp status screen shows everything running OK.
On trying to install Expression Engine I have the following errors.
Unable to connect to your database server.
Unable to select the database.
The instruction in the book show server settings as.
URL to where index page is located. http://localhost/
URL to systems directory. http://localhost/system/
I have also been trying these, http://localhost/xampp/
When searching for database files files they show to be at C:/xamp/mysql
Would anyone have suggestions where I am going wrong?
Thanks
Lionel
