Running wordpress site different local host

问题:

I have recently taken my first programming project and it is with word press, I have never used it before as I have only done hard coding HTML/CSS before. My client has given me all of the files of her site, how do I run this on wordpress. I have installed wordpress and can run the test123 site but when I do the same thing on the local server with the info she gave me then I get a "Error establishing a database connection". This is surprising because all of the file folders in the info she gave me is the same as the test site (obv the content is different). She was doing it on a mac and I am on windows but I assume that hsouldn't matter. How can I fix this so I can see the site on wordpress and make the required changes that she wanted.

Thanks!

I tried changing the config file but that just gives me the setup again and not the site she has already made :(

First, create a folder into your htdocs folder with name test123 now put all the directory which one provide you by client in to test123 folder like wp-admin , wp-content ....etc

after then in new tab run this path http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ Create a database with name something test , then import the database which one provide to you by your client , after import go to table name wp-options and change the site url http://localhost/test123 same for admin URL

Now back to your files and open wp-config.php file from your test123 folder root directory , change database name which one you recently created "test" username set to "root" and password "blank" hostname should be "localhost"

now run path in to URL http://localhost/test123 after this if you want to login http://localhost/test123/wp-admin

then first you need to change user password with md5 strings from database wp-user table

the site will work on localhost

installation WordPress in wamp server

first, start wamp server

click to start all services when it will work the icon will be colored green

Go to C:\wamp\www and paste WordPress folder there. You can rename the WordPress folder to anything you want for example test123

Now open a web browser and go to:

http://localhost/test123/

it will ask you for database connection error

now open the phpmyadmin as showing into create a database and import the database

then go to you Wordpress folder test123 and find the wp-config.php file and replace your username with "root" database name you created , and password blank . now run http://localhost/test123/ once again
