- Let me first get something off my chest: I’m completely new to wordpress and hosting websites in general. I hope you will all be patient with me and I appreciate any help and/or suggestions.I’m trying to setup a website on an old Mac Mini running MacOS 10.14.4 (Mojave) which is on all the time anyway.I’ve googled at it for a couple of days and I’ve gotten this far:
– I installed Homebrew and used that to get Nginx (I didn’t want to use apples build-in Apache-server as I figured with Nginx I migth give myself an easier time ind the future in case I switch hardware.)
– Using Homebrew I also installed [email protected] and MySql 8.0.16 Homebrew
– I remapped Nginx’s config file to point to another disk where I want the website-files to be stored.
– I setup my local DNS-server so my domain-name points to the Mac Mini
– Downloaded and placed wordpress in the www-folder I pointed Nginx to.
– Made a MySQL-user and a database using CLI and then confirmed, by using “TablePlus” SQL GUI, that the wordpress-user I created can authenticate and see the database. Using TablePlus I’m able to manually make entries into the database I made for wordpress with the wordpress user.Entering mydomainname.dk on the mac mini’s webbrowser I see the WordPress welcome-site.
I chose English and then entered my MySQL database-name and credentials. But all I get is:
Error establishing a database connection
This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at 127.0.0.1. This could mean your host’s database server is down.
• Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
• Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
• Are you sure that the database server is running?
If you’re unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.
———————————--As for database-host I’ve tried 127.0.0.1:3306, localhost and a lot of variations hereof.
The MySQL and WordPress is on the same physical machine, so as far as all the sites I’ve googled tell me, “localhost” should be enough.What am I missing here ? Any help is appreciated and if any info or tests are needed let me know. :o) Thanks a lot for reading.The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

Software Appliance – Ready-to-Use #Software Appliance – Ready-to-Use
You may find that using a pre-integrated software appliance is a great way to get up and running with WordPress, especially in combination with virtual machine software (e.g., VMWare, VirtualBox, Xen HVM, KVM).
Another software that can be used is Parallels, which you would have to pay for unlike virtual machine software. It allows you to run both Mac and Windows on your machine.

A software appliance allows users to altogether skip manual installation of WordPress and its dependencies, and instead deploy a self-contained system that requires little to no setup, in just a couple of minutes.

WAMP #WAMP
If you don’t have IIS on your computer or don’t want to use it, you could use a WAMP Stack :
- WAMP Server or WAMP Server at SourceForge
- AMPPS WAMPStack – has Softaculous WordPress Installer
- EasyPHP – Has WordPress installer plugin
- BitNami WAMPStack – Has WordPress stack
![Wordpress Wordpress](/uploads/1/3/4/8/134861171/980632194.jpg)
Joker for smash. These stacks can be downloaded freely and set up all the bits you need on your computer to run a website. Once you have downloaded and installed WAMP, you can point your browser at localhost and use the link to phpmyadmin to create a database.
Then, in order to install WordPress, download the zip file, and extract it into the web directory for your WAMP installation (this is normally installed as c:wampwww). Finally visit http://localhost/wordpress to start the WordPress install. (Assuming you extracted into c:wampwwwwordpress).
Tip: If you want to use anything other than the default permalink structure on your install, make sure you enable the mod_rewrite module in WAMP. This can be enabled by clicking on the WAMP icon in the taskbar, then hover over Apache in the menu, then Apache modules and ensure that the rewrite_module item has a checkmark next to it.
