EasyPHP 5.3.2i+wordpress+windows 7 64bits = Dont work!

Well .. I just want to relate my experience as I know, to serve others. After running all the forums I knew behind a solution to my problem, in which case you can not install Wordpress using 5.3.2i EasyPHP on windows 7 64 bit, the only possible solution was to install EasyPHP 1.8! Then everything worked perfect! If you like I NEED the wordpress site installed for testing, use this solution!

I WANT TO DOWNLOAD THE EASYPH 5.3.2 PLEASE

I'm running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit as my development system. After a vinila install, Apache and PHP started, but the Admin and other windows had a buncha PHP errors of file not found. They all pointed to the "Program Files (x86)" EasyPHP folders.

I then removed EasyPHP and installed on my Vista test system. Worked fine. I did have to authorize the EasyPHP program in MacAfee, but other than that, out of the box worked.

After realizing that Windows 7 security has changed to disallow user level access to the various files and services under normal execution, I did the following.

Using Windows Explorer I defined a new folder "C:\EasyPHP".

Ran EasyPHP install and changed the install folder from the default to "C:\EasyPHP".

Installed informed me that the folder existed already and did I want to use it.

I replied "Yes".

EasyPHP installed and started.

Double clicked the Tray icon and verified that Apache and MySQL started.

Right clicked the Tray icon and selected Administration.

It worked and I changed the timezone to Chicago for CST. It worked.

Now I'm in the process of reading PHP, MySQL & JavaScript...

merci

i have the same problem. i tried everything but no solution. always says "Error establishing a database connection". do you have any ideas?

i installed easyphp 3.0 and succccceeeeeeesssssss

instead of using 'localhost' as hostname use 127.0.0.1 that pretty much did the trick for me.

windows7 (and vista) dont have localhost defined in the hosts file. (c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) so you can probably edit that file as well to make sure 127.0.0.1. is 'localhost'.

Thank you, it solved the problem for me :D
