使用PHP 7.0.6在Wampserver 3.0.4上安装Joomla 3.5.1时出错

Question

I'm trying to install Joomla on my local machine running Windows 10, with wampserver 3.0.4, PHP 7.0.6 and MySQL 5.7.9

I created a user and database for joomla from phpMyAdmin, but when I get to the database configuration step, I always get this error: Could not connect to the database. Connector returned number: Could not connect to MySQL.

I doubled check the credentials and permissions, and even tried installing using mysql root account and got the same error.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

I double checked my wampserver settings, and apparently now it installs MySQL on port 3307. I used localhost:3307 as Database Host name and it worked fine.
