cdp222 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2011 I am working my way through the Dreamweaver and Wordpress videos. I have installed wamp, created a database and am up to setting up the database connection. I can't get past the step where I need to enter database name, username, password, database host, table prefix.Do I need to set up a testing server in dreamweaver before I can install wordpress?or...Do I need to sign up with a hosting service before I can complete this step?

No, that is only required if you want to preview files within Dreamweaver (which you could easily do inside a regular browser instead.) Hosting services are not required, unless you need the site to be visible online. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Database username: root (says your MySQL username) Database password: (leave blank) (says your MySQL password) Database host table prefix: wp- Tip: Open notepad and use it to keep track of names and steps.
