Have set-up with XAMPP on localhost with your help : I can see database, phpmyadmin and blog. The only problem is I can’t get login to work so that I attain admin panels (dashboard). Any ideas on what I didn’t quite do right, please ?

Thanks for your feedback, Moshu. I seem to be in Control window : it says I successfully set-up Xampp but I can’t find any function to start Apache and MySQL. I tried to do it manually in directory but that didn’t seem to work. Can you tell me where to look in Control window ?

According to “status”, various elements are alright. However, I looked at “security” and that appeared a bit grim. How do I assure that when connected locally I’m not connected to internet ?

Any help would be appreciated.

You were quick. Many thanks.

Hi Kafkaesqui,

Thanks for your analysis which was just about exact, I think.

I updated the version and that must have solved the bug problem.

Then, I still had a bit of difficulty connecting with the data base, but my host, accuwebhosting, was very reactive. After a couple of exchanges my host soon got WordPress up so I could install it.

I’m now a bit mesmerised by all the richness of WordPress : don’t really know where to start. I shall study how the Admin panels work and go forward from there.

Thanks once more,

Thanks Podz.

I’ve now made some contact with the site but get an error message :

Fatal error : Call to undefined function : get_bloginfo ( ) in … wp-includes\wp-db.php on line 304

Could this be linked to previous problem or is it a file problem ?
