  CREATE DATABASE wordpress;
  CREATE USER ‘wordpress’@'localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘WORDPRESSPASSWORD’;
  GRANT SELECT , INSERT , UPDATE , DELETE , CREATE , DROP , ALTER ON

Now edit php.ini:

• Uncomment lines:
  • cgi.fix_pathinfo=1
  • fastcgi.impersonate = 1;
• If commented out, uncomment the cgi.force_redirect line and set cgi.force_redirect = 0

Back at the cmd window, type

  php -info | more

There should be no errors.
