After installing Wordpress, cannot configure

I have installed the Wordpress on my 104 running OS 6.5.1, but one installed I can ot configure it. Is I select Settings, I get an error establishing database connection. I have installed MySQL, PHP and My PHPAdmin.

 

I cannot find any instructions as to what prereqs are needed and how to access the wp-config.php file.

 

Any ideas where I start?

 

Regards

Pete

    I think this is more a Wordpress isue vs. a ReadyNAS issue.  I am fairly new to both but have a couple of suggestions.

     

    First, check out the WordPress Codex for a lot of helpful information.  You can read their tips on setting up a WordPress instance here.

     

    I would also suggest you take a look at XAMP which may be needed to get WordPress up and running on a ReadyNAS.  Here is a link to that site;

    Hope that helps.

       Thanks, but no, this isn't a wordpress issue. I install and configure wordpress regularlly. 

       

      The current install of wordpress on a normal webserver goes through a configuration process (automated or manual) before accessing a database. The implementation in the Netgear App has already configured the database names etc otherwise it wouldn't have a problem establishing a database connection.

       

      I need to know how to configure this version of wordpress when you do no have access to the source.
