If you go to http://localhost/xampp you should have a link to phpmyadmin probably http://localhost/phpmyadmin. You can check if the joomladb exists there, if not create it. This is probably the solution to your problem. Otherwise you might have made a mistake while entering the password either during XAMPP installation, or Joomla installation.

I get the message [i]Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL[/i] Is there a way I can change the settings back to the local host settings? PLEASE HELP! Thanks Jon Jon Mon, 12 Jan 2009 10:00:10 +0100 http://www.dart-creations.com/joomla/tutorials/developing-and-testing-your-joomla-website.html#josc1147 Well, the answer I\'ll give is pretty obvious. You\'ll need to change the settings back to the appropriate ones for the database you have locally. So you\'ll need to find out the name of the database you are using locally, and what password you use to access it, and change the settings back to these. How can you find these? They are basically settings which you specify when you are installing your local web server typically, though I\'m sure there are ways of means of retrieving / resetting them in you\'ve lost them!
