• Hi, Not sure what I am doing wrong but this is what I have done. Downloaded my blog from web host iPage.
    Installed WAMP server on my PC which seemed to install OK. Moved my blog into the folder www – this might be my first problem?
    When I click on any file in my blog it opens up Dreamweaver (which I have installed on this Laptop) this might be my second problem.

    I assume I have to put some settings into wordpress to access my blog on localhost? However any file I open still opens Dreamweaver – which I don’t want to uninstall.

    Is there anybody that can guide me through how to resolve this issue?

    Thanks

    Rechecked wp-config. The file is located in C:/xampp/htdocs/JoBlog. This what it looks like – not sure if I am risk by publishing some of this but I assume without the password its OK. Please delete this post if not safe – I also have made some small changes to the names in this post as well just in case! In MySQL database which I downloaded from my web hosting service and imported locally – I made the following changes –

    In the database

    localhost – wrd_1cdh7he999 – wp_options I changed in wp-options

    siteurl – to https://localhost/JoBlog (should this be the URL of the Blog)??? https://www.jowyndhamward.com
    home – to https://localhost/JoBlog

    Below is the wp-config file – the only item I am unsure about here is the MySQL database username – this is obviously the user name which was created when I set up WordPress on the Web Hosting service. I cannot find where this is stored in MySql or wordpress but assume this is all correct.

    / ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
    /** The name of the database for WordPress */
    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wrd_1cdh7he999’);

    /** MySQL database username */
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘wrd2Ou0aak2’);

    /** MySQL database password */
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘123456789’);

    /** MySQL hostname */
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

    /** 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’, ”);

    To add some more info to the problem – I looked in the error log for Apache and found these entries – these occured when I cahnged the sysntax to access the blog. Does it matter that it is accessing the IP address rather than localhost? Also it seems to be looking thru two xampp folders – not sure why?
