Hello ! I got error like this >> Error establishing a database connection // what i did same like You. Would you advice me ? Thank You.

[@TomMedia]

Try to check these: 1. Check Database Credentials: Ensure that the database credentials in your WordPress configuration file (wp-config.php) match the database settings in XAMPP (username, password, database name, and host). 2. Verify Database Server is Running: Make sure the MySQL database server is running in XAMPP. Check the XAMPP control panel to see if the MySQL module is active. 3. Restart Services: Sometimes, restarting the Apache and MySQL services in XAMPP can resolve the connection issue. 4. Check Database Host: Ensure that the database host specified in wp-config.php matches the one configured in XAMPP. The default is usually 'localhost'. 5. Test Database Connection: Try connecting to the database using a database client (e.g., phpMyAdmin) in XAMPP to verify if the connection is working. 6. Repair Database: If the issue persists, the database might be corrupted. Use the "Repair" option in phpMyAdmin or a database repair tool to fix any potential issues. 7. Check Firewall/Antivirus: Sometimes, firewall or antivirus software can interfere with the database connection. Temporarily disable them to see if it resolves the problem. 8. Debug Mode: Enable WordPress debugging to get more specific error messages. Edit wp-config.php and set WP_DEBUG to true. 9. Reinstall WordPress: As a last resort, consider reinstalling WordPress in XAMPP, making sure to use the correct database credentials.

Hello Tom! What a great tutorial, IK almost got til the end, but struggling to start that PROFTPD on my Mac. Nothing seems to work out, it is not in an activity log, Ive tried to change some host files but it didn't work either. I am not a it guy and very far away from coding, how can I start it in order to get that Wordpress done finally?

[@TomMedia]

Reinstall all again, please follow my instructions carefully.

[@Michael.........]

Thanks for the great video! Do I need to keep XAMPP running all the time?

[@TomMedia]

You have to keep running only when you run WordPress. When you finished it, you can close XAMPP. Remember that you run all servers in XAMPP before starting to use WordPress.

Simply add the following codes to your wp-config.php file. define('FS_METHOD','direct'); Then, save the file, and try to install the plugin again. If you can install it normally, you’re good to go.

[@padawan_funko]

Hi, where can I find the Server name (hostname) please? Does it require me to install plugins before? Thank you for your help.

[@TomMedia]

You mean the server name, right? It's Localhost. You can type "localhost/wordpress" on your browser, and you will see your website on localhost (your PC). In addition, you have to download the wordpress files using Simply Static plugin. Next, you can deploy this file on Netlify. So, your website will live on the internet, and you can change your domain name. To do so, you can check my video "WordPress Tutorial".

[@OskarKunKragh]

I get error when I install wordpress. Cannot select database The database server could be connected to (which means your username and password is okay) but the database could not be selected. Are you sure it exists? Does the user root have permission to use the database? On some systems the name of your database is prefixed with your username, so it would be like username_. Could that be the problem? If you do not know how to set up a database you should contact your host. If all else fails you may find help at the WordPress support forums

[@OskarKunKragh]

Ok I found the problem. I didnt duplicate the samle file. After I duplicated it and rename the file it works. I didnt have to do that on Windows so I skipped that part which was a mistake. I hope other learn from this mistake. You must duplicate and rename the samle file! Thanks for the video. Big help.
