Changes in Editor

i need to fess up
i havent used windows inyears
look thru the install docs and read carefully
it normally goes ok

i have a control panal now what

I will spend the weekend reading all about the site and options. Thanks. You all are wonderful!

oh cool
now swithch into yr file manager/explorer
go and see the file structure
look for htdocs
thats where u install stuff/set up web sites
u need to navigate there
u can put a shortcut in mydocuments

then install wp right in there
maybe make a wp folder

ok, So just to be clear… I will install WP into the HTdocs and then once it is downloaded, will I be able to open it, or will I need additional steps..

Oh I am excited HT docs is right there!

just hang on lol
u keep talking about “opening” it
wp got to be installed in htdocs
what u will end up opening are the theme files…………
u are doing so well
but hold yr breath
u might stumble
its not a 1 min job
but u doing great so far
now u need to find yr way to phpmyadmin
create a database
add a user

It says it is invalid… Dang, let me try again

ok, I am in the phpmyadmin… don’t see create a database… unless db_create php is what you mean?

if yr in phpmyadmin in yr browser its got a form for creating a db

wp needs 4 bits of info to install

location of db
db name
db user
db user pw

When I open phpmyadmin there are like 40 other sub files…

mmmmmmmmm
u not in the right place
in yr browser
https://localhost should take u to the index page

phpmyadmin is in menu on left

js
lang
libraries
pmd
themes

u should be going there in yr browser
