WordPress configuration problem

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello everyone,
    I have problem installing wordpress on my machine.
    I have downloaded wordpress on my computer. Apache,Mysql and PHP services are running (I am using WAMP),
    I am sure Apache,MySQL and php are working because I do PHP programming.
    I am trying to install wordpress on my local computer but it stops in a white page.
    I browse: http://localhost:8080 [I also have IIS running which is using port# 80)
    then click on instal.php, it says:

    /
    There doesn’t seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started. Need more help? We got it. You can create a wp-config.php file through a web interface, but this doesn’t work for all server setups. The safest way is to manually create the file.
    Create a Configuration File (Button)
    /
    I click on “Create a Configuration File”
    it asks for
    Database Name The name of the database you want to run WP in.
    User Name Your MySQL username
    Password …and MySQL password.
    Database Host You should be able to get this info from your web host, if localhost does not work.
    Table Prefix

    I enter all information and I enter “localhost:8080” as database host (I think this is the problem but I do not know how ot fix it)
    when I press submit, it takes several minutes and then shows a white blank page

    Is there anyone has solution to this problem?
    Thank you.
