cdp222 Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share 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?

falkencreative Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Do I need to set up a testing server in dreamweaver before I can install wordpress? 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 This YouTube Video may help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uShBYyy0cbw Fill the form this way: Database name: mydb (something short that ends with db for database so you remember). 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.
