Please, How Can I Install Wordpress On Ampps? Been trying but getting the error that "The MySQL Connection could not be established." Someone should please help me

This is very likely that you are entering the wrong database name, database username or password incorrectly.

Why don't you try other servers out there. Use XAMPP or WAMP they are popular and can get more support easily & quickly.

That's cool but AMPPS edge is, you can install scripts and apps eg Joomla, Wordpress etc without downloading them first.

Xampp was giving me Apache errors. Haven't tried wamp.

What is the error message?

It keeps saying Apache cannot be started and during installation. it says port 80 in use. I have tried to get rid of whatever is in port 80 but cant find any

The AMPPS file is an executable file (.exe). So install it on your computer. After the installation, open its user interface and start Apache and MySQL. If all went well, the afore-mentioned services will start.

MySQL usually does start but you may have problem with the Apache and this usually an issue relating to another port using port:80. To fix this, on the AMPPS user interface, click Apache, then Configuration. The configuration file will open in a text editor like notepad. Go the line 49 of that file and change Listen 80 to Listen 8080, save the file. Restart the Apache.

Open your browser and type: localhost:8080 and press enter. Your system now has a local server that will enable us develop the Joomla site as though we were online.

I am really a thorn in the flesh I guess but I learnt everything from ur tutorial. I am still unable to place wordpress on ampps. I UNINSTALLED, restarted and reinstalled. Trying to reinstall joomla but can't get past the stage where it asks for admin, password, database *before ftp setup* I even input everything u gave in the tutorial but it loads for a very long time. I even deleted my past projects while uninstalling

My mysql has refused to start. What the hell is happening?! On my ampps, Apache works but when I start apache, it goes off automatically again. Why is it so?
