installing localy after already installing on server

Review this Codex page.

Thanks esmi abut I can’t seem to find anything to help me there. It just keeps saying that WordPress is already installed when it isn’t, only on my server. I even deleted it from there and the database I had set up. I cannot get it to install on my machine ??

Did you change the site urls in the database? If not, it’s probably pointing at your remote site.

You were right. I forgot about the config file. Deleted that and tried to reinstall. Can get past that but now it says can’t connect to my database. I don’t know why I’m having such a hard time with this??

Check your db credentials.

use this guide – works every time
