Question

I am using both an IIS and wamp server in parallel on my system. I changed the wampserver port to localhost:8080 in the httpd.conf, but during the joomla installation,it is getting stuck on the database configuration using following information:

hostname:localhost:8080,
username and password:root,
database name:mydatabase (i created with wamp’s phpmyadmin).

I dont know why it is getting stuck. Can anyone help me?

Answer 1

Port 8080 is the port to your website, not your database. Try omitting the 8080 port and use the default 3306 MySQL port.
