I cannot get the field options to work for drop downs and radio buttons. I assume they are bound to the parent field data, but no matter what I’ve done, they do not show up.

YEEEEESSSS! Got it working thanks to WAMP server. All I had to do was uninstall PHP, MYSQL (and disable the service), and disable IIS. It only took a few minutes and there was the holy grail. ?? Wish I had tried this a looong time ago. Thanks for all the advice and I would highly recommend using this over web platform installer.

Ok, I may be getting somewhere now. I reinstalled WP (just overwrote previous files) and reconfigured the wp-config file. Now my error is that it can’t select the DB. It says the user name and password are ok but it can’t access the database. Any thoughts? lol

No, when I click on the link for it to be configured, it brings up a page stating that it can’t find the wp-config-sample file. I also have that file in both places.

I should also mention that when going through my browser to run install.php, I get the error saying that WP cannot find the wp-config file. I have it in both the root directory and in the wp-admin dir.

If I use the EasyPHP though, am I going to have to reconfigure everything else already installed? I’m trying my hardest not to have to go backward. I’ve been working on this for almost a month..starting with Liferay to create a portal, then onto other products and all of them have so much overhead just to get them to function correctly. I really thought WordPress would be somewhat easier. ha! Sorry if I sound harsh..I’m just a bit frustrated.

lol, web platform installer is junk. Tried both 3.0 and 2.0. The 3.0 has issues and the 2.0 wouldn’t install MySQL because the link it uses is dead. So, I just decided to go the manual route. I’ve managed to get through all kinds of .dll errors and feel like I’m almost there.

I’m actually running all on xp mode and do not have the security tab to check file permissions. However, I am logged on as Administrator. I know that it should be possible to run WordPress on a local machine as there are tons of instructions available for this method. I simply want to set up a WordPress site in order to get screenshots for my project. At this point I don’t even care about specific functionality..just want to be able to get it installed. ??
