[TYPO3-english] Major background issues

[Richard Davies]

Hi Marina,

When you first set up a Typo3 website (with a source + dummy set-up, not
the introduction package) and visit the front page you should be able to
walk through 'installation' steps, which include a section where you enter
database details. According to this article:
http://wiki.typo3.org/Introduction_Package#Installation when you first
visit an introduction package install you should have seen the same thing.

If you still have the introduction package source zip/tar, delete
everything and start again. Otherwise, recreate the ENABLE_INSTALL_TOOL (as
previously mentioned) and then append this to your base URL in a browser:
/typo3/install/index.php?mode=123&step=1&password=joh316 (this is where you
are redirected to when you first visit a Typo3 installation). If it tells
you that you have the wrong password, delete the file
typo3conf/LocalConfiguration.php (or typo3conf/localconf.php if the other
file is not there) and try again (it means you or something changed the
password - deleting that file removes the password and it defaults back to
joh316).

If you are still having issues with the database username/password after
entering them, have you tried logging into your mysql server with that
username/password pair? There are multiple WAMP packages and I imagine they
don't all have the same default username/passwords. If you can log into
your mysql server with the username/password you are trying to use for
Typo3 then you its more likely a Typo3 issue - but again may not be.
