Try another port.

53cur3m0d3: @ZINO, done that, I accessed the file and changed the port 80 to 8080. Immediately I saved and restarted, it alerted me that port 8080 is being used by another application... I tried running the URL again but it's still displaying same empty page...

ZinoFego: Try another port.

PLS READ MY PREVIOUS POST AS I MODIFIED IT

Oga mi, I don change port sotey... I dey on 705 now sf but e still nor work..
Appending any port to the localhost works, but when I append the /phpmyadmin to 'localhost:port', it doesn't work..

Since this isn't resolving at the moment, try another stack of Apache, PHP and MySQL like WAMP or XAMPP.

@zinofego
pls is there any site i could download total free joomla form builder n other components . txn

There are no known developers who give free components to users since components are developed for specific purposes. Some sites may just have a few free components. Be careful with free extensions from unknown sources because they could be an avenue to compromise your site.

You can search for any component you want and if a free version is offered, please make sure you download it from source.

Send a message to the email address in my signature so I can forward 2 form builders to you.

Thank God I downloaded all other stacks together just to avoid gbege. The Ampps didn't work so I uninstalled it, and so did the Wamp but the Xampp 3.2.1 was my saving grace.
For Xampp users, to create database and install Joomla, use this link, it helped me... http://magazine.joomla.org/issues/issue-mar-2013/item/1110-free-e-book-%E2%80%93-introducing-joomla-30-made-easy...

Same problem I encountered so I restarted the system, na so I enta gobe... Wen I tried installing again, the layout on my PC was wack. Twas showing HTML codes like label so I cudn't select from the. Drop down menu... I cleaned up my PC again and still had same issue.... Pls help

Joomla 3.2 usually takes some time to complete the installation on stage 5. The first time I tried it, I couldn't get to make it install on Chrome browser, it was Firefox I finally worked after about 5 times but subsequently, there has been no issues.

Alternatively, download and install Joomla 2.5 and lets see if you will have the same problem.

Thanks bro, wat's the installation timeframe for 2.5? I'll add U up on whatsapp to ask U some questions

If you are using AMPPS, you can use the script auto-installer to install Joomla. Just enter this link: http://localhost/ampps/index.php?act=software&soft=413. That is for Joomla 3.2.

When you are in the environment: http://localhost/ampps, you can walk your way around installing other scripts and apps.

Thanks bro, but I'm using Xampps, can I load it that way too?

I don't think so, it does not have script installer.

Just google them.

majinice07: Where can i download Xampps or Wamps please its urgent cos am in the cafe right now.

majinice07: AM NOW IN THE XAMPP'S SITE WHERE SHOULD I CLICK TO DOWNLOAD IT, IT CONFUSING ME PLEASE MY TIME IS SOON UP.

ZinoFego: I don't think so, it does not have script installer.

Nor mind me Sir jare, it's just http://localhost/JoomlaTraining and it loads the Joomla Web Installer page where U fill in the site parameters, admin email, admin, admin password etc.
I got disoriented when I restarted my system last nyt during the installation so Xampps (Mysql service) malfunctioned and I had to remove it, do system restore... I nearly ran mad sha but I hope to be thru tonyt... Thanks so much and don't forget my 'Xmas gift' o

majinice07: Where can i download Xampps or Wamps please its urgent cos am in the cafe right now.

I hope that cafe has large bandwidth for U to utilize o cos Xampps is around 219mb, Ampps is around 152mb while Wamp is 38.7mb so I'll advise U to go for Wamp for a start... And if everything goes right, U'll have WAMP properly working without glitches.
Also, know Ur system config before downloading Wamp. If Ur system is 32-bit, don't download 64-bit and vice versa else it'll just be a waste of Ur time, money and that cafe's bandwidth..
