Please I'd be delighted if I can get some help with this. There's a lot of documentation on this but my troubleshooting has failed. Im sorry if this is a repetition. I installed XAMPP for windows which works fine but it is not working for my MAC OS Sierra.
My XAMPP version is 5.6.30-0
My servers are running.
This is my wp-config.php details:
- Code: Select all
// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', ‘WP’);
/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', ‘admin’);
/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', ‘darkall’);
/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
/** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */
define('DB_COLLATE', '');
The user "admin" is a new user I created just for the "WP" database in phpMyAdmin.
I tried to go to http://localhost/wp/ but get the error "Error establishing a database connection""
I've also tried adding images to this post but I cannot get my head around it just yet, hopefully with time.
I want to keep this short for now but I will give more information as it may be required.
Thank you very much.
Regards
Samuel
