Hi
I installed XAMPP, configured myphpadmin and then created my database. When i tried to install WordPress on local drive i got a message stating that my database name or host name is incorrect. So that am not able to install WordPress
Using database that I created in Myphpadmin.
Host: Root
No passwordWhen I press enter i received message regarding user host name and password
How can I sort out this issue? Please help me out
ThankyouI will assume it as you misspelled Root – it is far more likely it is root.
You can use this script to test your db connection strings from your localhost:

i.e. define( ‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost:5067’ );
