I love this forum. Lots of great info and help. But, after searching for about an hour I cannot find the answer to my problem.
I am running XAMPP v-1.7.1 on a Windows XP Home system. I did the basic install and after finding some good configuration (security etc.) videos on YouTube I seemed to have everything running ok.
I installed Wordpress v-2.8.1. I set up a temp blog and then installed the Flexibility2 1.0 theme and still ok. I upgraded it to the FlexSqueeze 1.0 theme and this is where the problems start. After trying to save changes that I made within the theme I got an error and after asking for help on some forum (not sure which now) I was told that I should check and modify the file permissions.
I then went into my local host phpmyadmin and after trying to access the wordpress db I see this error...Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.
If this is the problem, what should I do? If the problem may be something else, then I could use all the help I can get.
Thanks, Richard.
