I'm using WAMP to recreate my web site that exist on my web server.
http://backcountryreporter.info/
I installed the plugin, created and downloaded the packages to a folder called wp1 in my WAMP www directory.
I brought up the "installer.php" file in http://localhost:8080/wp1/installer.php.
I filled out the Host as "localhost:8080", User as "root", Password as blank, Database name as "bcr1".
Allow Options are "Database Creation" checked, "Table Removal" unchecked.
I clicked on "Sytem Requirments: Pass..." and see that everything passes.

I clicked on the "Test Connection..." and get an error.

An error occurred while testing the database connection! Be sure the install file and the package are both in the same directory.

Both the installer.php and the zip file are in the same directory.
What is the problem?
Thanks,
