WordPress install not working

I did create a lot of new databases and i assigned it multiple times , and I checked it a thousand times. Everything , the privileges are set . Root, or not, i checked that as well.

Db host is localhost.

It doesn't work.

Daniel is right, check, and keep checking. Make sure your db user has privileges to the database. It does work, you are just not giving wp the correct db credentials to set up.

I checked it now for the million time. This isn't also my first time setting up a wordpress site, though it its on windows, it that has any meaning.

It just doesn't work. I checked up my database, created new database, checked my details, and it would even work with root, it don't even need to add new user, but i did both ways. I even changed it in my config file manually, it doesn't work.

Just out of curiosity, are you absolutely positive that the MAMP services are running? It's possible that even though you've installed them (and even started them) that something else has stopped or paused the services.

Okay, than follow Jennifer's advice, and than back track your steps and try again for the 1,000,001 time. I know you've set wordpress up before, but I can assure you it's not wordpress, it something on your end.

Hi Jennifer,

I'm absolutely sure that MAMP services are running. It's green : Apache and MySQL is green.

I get the same message , error estabilishing connection if I do it manually, and if i do it with wordpress files it's the same.

I did install a new wordpress fie, and created new user, and new tab in MAMP, and it's still the same result.

Though I did create a static site now, just to test it out again, and the static site worked lol though WP didn't work.

I have set it on port 8888. I don't know what else to do.

define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');

WordPress should do the wp-config file for me. I shoudn't be going there and do it manually in the first place.

Though sure.

And like I said before, username, and password, I did actually generate the password, as well as put my own, and i did put a username before. But this was my last test too.

In DB Host, i checked both ways, writing numbers and with letters.

define('DB_NAME', 'wp_myblog');

/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'root');

/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'root');

/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1');

/** 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', '');

There is value in knowing if you're able to log in to phpmyadmin with the same credentials you're giving wordpress, so I wouldn't dismiss this idea so fast Aurelian. If you can, at least you know your credentials are find, and it means that it can't find your database. If it can't than you need to double check your credentials, and their permissions.

So I'm lost now. This is local WP theme development. I don't have any password to log in to phpmyadmin. I have just installed MAMP, and i just wanted to do WP theme.

Unless you mean when I add a new user? I'm not sure what you mean by 100% now.

Right, does your database user, the one you give WP, have full access rights, you can test that by trying to use those credentials on making changes to the database.

It said that password and login is ok, but it can't find the database once I tried yet again..
