Oh dear, I managed to fix it by taking another good (and above all: fresh) look at the whole database thingy.

Cheers!

It is on my local computer. Initially both urls were https://localhost/meropis.

Thank you for your reply. However, without additional help this won’t work, I’m afraid.
I’ve checked my wp-config.php file, but where exactly should I add the following?

define(‘WP_HOME’,’https://example.com’);
define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’https://example.com’);

Also, I’ve taken a look at how to change the url directly in the database (through php.myadmin etc.). I followed the instructions up to point 16: Then I have to add the name, but it already says https://localhost/meropis, so there seems nothing to change…

I almost figured it out. It turned out to be Wamp. In short, I changed the port numbers in the httpd.conf (< Apache) from 80 to 80, and had to make the same change url or something like that: https://localhost:8080

However, I did manage to get to the dashboard of my weblog, but there everything ends. There is no way of reaching e.g. the actual blogsite. So I am still trying to find a solution.

Right, I just wanted to check the Wamp program, clicked on the phpMyAdmin, got a new tab on Google Chrome and the same nasty message appears. Therefore, I guess the problem has something to do with Wamp. Perhaps all this is caused by adwCleaner I used to get rid of the browershijacker Astromenda?

Meanwhile, I’ll keep searching for a solution.
