How to re-logon after install
-
I am running Windows 10. I activated its IIS feature. Used MS Web Installation app to install MySQL, PHP, and WordPress. Then I logged in and altered a few things since I’m new to it.
At the end of the day, I closed the browser.
Now I have no idea how to get back to wordpress.
I reread some things and created wp-config.php adding the data I could there and saved it to the root directory of wordpress-4.3.
I found your online documentation about getting started-Login:
“Begin by logging into the “administration area” or the back end of your website. Visit your site’s login page by placing “wp-admin” after your domain name (e.g. http://example.com/wp-admin). You can also place “login” after your domain as of WordPress 3.4. Some themes provide a “login” link or form on the front end as well. Now log into WordPress using your username and password. “
I am not sure what my domain name is. I start IIS using “localhost”. wp-admin is not a file. it is a subdirectory. whenever I add a php file to localhost, e.g. http://localhost/login.php, the error message can’t find it in c:/inetpub/wwwroot/. it always looks there.
I now have no idea how to get back to my database named wordpress420.
I’m confused. Your install process automated my first access. Now what?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Whenever I issue a localhost command such as http://localhost/index.php, it always searches the IIS directory: C:/inetpub/wwwroot directory.
I suspect I need to copy a wp-???.php file to it to start wordpress, but I can find no such file. the onle reference is to the wp-admin directory.

Our WordPress.COM support docs do not relate to local installs of WordPress.ORG software on your own server, and we cannot provide support for it. You are posting to the wrong support forum.
WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.
