I just downloaded a press copy of WP and installed on my WAMP. Settings are exactly as yours and it all worked fine without any hesitation. It seems like something restricts access to your DB server.

Can you run the below code and see what you get.

Code: Select all

<?php
/*

    DB test code written by [email protected] (https://robot.lk)
    02/03/2011
*/

// connect to the mysql server
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', '');
if (!$link) {
    die ("Could not connect to the MySQL server.<br> Error: ".mysql_error());
}

// select the database
$db_selected = mysql_select_db('wordpress', $link);
if (!$db_selected) {
    die ("Could not select database.<br> Error: ".mysql_error());
}

echo "DB Connection Successful";

?>
If you do not get the message "DB Connection Successful" then you will have to check what stops the browser-MySQL connection. This can be a Windows 7 security issue, setting on your firewall/Virus guard, etc... Easiest way is to run this on Windows XP partition to see how it goes.

This is how the ROBOT.LK members should act :)
I think Now your Tight Schedule Might Be Over
No buddy.. Still on it... But I'll try to be with ROBOT.LK as much as possible.

Also, mention the issue on G-sparkZ's WP that you guys have just sorted. This will be helpful for the guys who are looking at this Topic.

Thanks Friend

I helped Him Using teamviewer. But Error came again and again.

Then I found the error It was,


G-sparkz was not Running .exe file. He was using the extracted zip file's files.

So i told him to Download the .exe Setup file and then install it and then Run WP under it and It worked.

And He installed and Made Data bases as I told Him.

Then I gave Him the Thesis WordPress theme which need to buy but I downloaded it via a torrent and Gave Him too. ;)
It will give Him More Knowledge too. :)


And Now He is working with it and i think He forgot to Visit ROBOT.LK either because He likes to work with WP. I know so far because He told me he really want to learn WP.

I think that it has a nice integration for the site if you had a good start. It was the factor that they done a good module into the version of WP. And it might be good to assume that we could catch a highest satisfaction for a good start.
