Have you created a database by going to phpMyAdmin by giving the name "wordpress" ?
I guess there is no database in that name or you missed to create one.

I don't remember much about WordPress now. Because I didn't use it for many days.
But When i install I didn't want to edit any PHp file.
Do like this
Make a New data base in MySql
Then download wordpress and Install it as Joomla (I mean installing it just as easy s Joomla).
When asking a Data base Give the data base name you created before.
It isn't that hard.

goto localhost/phpmyadmin/
default username is root and password is blank
there make a database named "wordpress" and you should be good to go.

Error establishing a database connection
I cant get wordpress install in here.....What is the error I do ?
I get wamp extracted in to my pc win7 partition
Then I extract that Wp zip file to wamp WWW folder.
I start a db name with wordpress in phpmyadmin
then I rename thata wp-config-sample.php file as wp-config.php
I edited that file with wordpad like this
Code: Select all
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress');
/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'root');
/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', '');
/** 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', '');
saved it.
Then tried to satrt WP.But get
