I'm attempting to install WordPress on my local workstation. To do so, I just selected WP in the WPI launcher's Applications menu, and it added all dependencies as expected.
However, once I get to the Install portion of the process, I get the following error:
"The specified password for user account 'root' is not valid, or failed to connect to the database server."
After doing a little investigation of the logfile, I discovered that the MySQL link used by the current Web Platform Installer is not valid. Quite frankly, I don't know whether the MySQL file downloaded or not. I'll try again later; perhaps the link's destination site is just down for a bit. Otherwise, I think you need to update the link.
Or am I doing something wrong? I really don't know what's happening here, but I've got my complete logfile, so if anyone needs to see it I'll upload it.
Thanks in advance,
