JLBN – Setup CMS Joomla on WAMP
In this Install & Setup CMS Guide for WAMP users, we will show you how to install and setup Joomla with version 1.5 is used in this tutor guide.
Note: Even this guide is used for Wampserver, you can apply this method on other wamp package such as Xampp, EasyPHP, so on. Just make sure to select correct file(s) in proper location(s) 
This is only a partial setup. Without setting up the ftp properly (used to be sn:root pw:root) and file path done properly like I was saying without doing this adding modules into your system will not install through the install feature on your backend.
like I was saying the old wamp servers used to use root/root as the default screen name and password. I don’t think my password is correct but the right password and user has the be keyed in for this to work properly.
1actually, it’s not ftp but you need to setup database before installing Joomla as already mentioned in the beginning of the guide

Thank you so much for all the great instruction. It took me an hour to set up WAMP, PHP, MySQL and get Joomla up.
5After Step#4 and going through GNU General Public License then next to go to Step#5 the following error message was received: Could not connect to the database. Connector returned number: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL [ Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL ]………pleas advise

BN; yes I did. Will check for errors (ie. typo’s and etc.) though and re-do the steps to this point.
8BN……I tried to log into database and could not so I changed password …problem solved , was able to access MySQL and move onto Step#5. Though am not sure what happened, as I did log in prior to this when I set up the Database.
