I am usnig wamp server. I extracted the wordpress zip and named the folder myblogsite and kept insude te www folder of wamp in C drive.

Edited w-config.php and added database details, Authentication Unique Keys and salt details (generated random keys) . I have NOT added my website URl here.

Now I am trying to access http://localhost/myblogsite and http://localhost:8009/myblogsite – Both gives me error–“This site can’t be reached . localhost refused to connect.”

Tried accessing localhost:8009 – Gave me my folder structure in wamp/www . Tried clicking on myblogsite folder from here. This again gave me above error.

The config is like below

        /** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpressblog');

 /** MySQL database username */
 define('DB_USER', 'wordpressusername');

/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');

/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');

/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');

/** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */
define('DB_COLLATE', '');

/**#@+
 * Authentication Unique Keys and Salts.
 *
 * Change these to different unique phrases!
 * You can generate these using the {@link https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/ WordPress.org secret-key service}
 * You can change these at any point in time to invalidate all existing cookies. This will force all users to have to log in again.

Edit: Flashback- I had successfully installed wordpress once. Was able to access my site via localhost/wp-admin.php OR localhost/wp-login.php. Then I changed my site URL in the settings tab of wordpress site. From then it started to redirect the URL in loop and fail. Then I deleted the wordpress folder from www and added it again and that lead to my current problem. now localost/wp-admin.php gives me a message "already installed" with a link to log in which lands me into a page cannot be accessed page

  • port I can change in httpd.config. I can try without the port number if its default portnumber 80. – rahul raj Apr 05 '17 at 14:36
