@diondesigns I finally was able to free the default port 80 and the installation of WordPress loaded normally and for now everything works out fine.

Thanks to everyone for trying to help me out.

@diondesigns I did try to replace localhost with localhost:3306 in WP conf. file but to no avail.

PS: This is how my phpmyadmin looks like and how my WP conf. file looks like:

@anujajakhade I tried, but still no results.

Can someone please tell me a way to free the default port 80 for localhost. Maybe this way it will work, if I try to install the WP app using the default port.

@diondesigns I can access phpmyadmin by typing localhost:81/phpmyadmin in the browser, because the default port 80 is already taken.
So I changed the DB_HOST in the WP configuration file. Then I type localhost:81/wordpress in the browser and the following message appears:

Warning: mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/1045): Access denied for user ‘wordpress’@’localhost’ (using password: YES) in H:\Bitnami\apache2\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\wp-db.php on line 1538

Could the problem be because I am using router and the cable for the internet is going from the router to my PC and it’s not a direct cable?

I ran the WP_Debug on true and this is what it displays after the timeout:

Warning: mysqli_real_connect(): MySQL server has gone away in H:\Bitnami\apache2\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\wp-db.php on line 1538

Warning: mysqli_real_connect(): Error while reading greeting packet. PID=5732 in H:\Bitnami\apache2\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\wp-db.php on line 1538

Warning: mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/2006): MySQL server has gone away in H:\Bitnami\apache2\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\wp-db.php on line 1538

I am trying to install WordPress on Xampp/Wamp. I am not using host.

Also tried that but still getting “Error establishing a database connection”…
