  • Hi,
    I can’t install WordPress locally.
    I got this message:
    Error establishing a database connection

    Mysql sens to work fine:

    mysql -u root -p
xxxxxxxxx

    I created a database.
    create database wptest;

    then my information to install WP:

    Database Name : wptest
Username : root
Password : xxxxxxxx
Database Host: localhost

    I tried with wp_cli too.

    Thanks

    Are you setting up a local WordPress install for development or testing? If so the WordPress local environment is usually the best way:

    Thanks for your answer, I don’t know Docker and it seems to have a learning curve?
    I tried to install it and is not working.

    docker run -d -p 80:80 docker/getting-started
    I got an error:

    ?  docker-test docker run -d -p 80:80 docker/getting-started
