Critical error when installing wordpress in xampp-CodePudding

I have installed xampp in Windows 11. I started Apache and MySQL. I have download wordpress inside htdocs, unzip and renamed ¨ideas¨. I created a database in Mysql named ¨ideas¨. I open in the browset localhost/ideas it starts the wordpress asking me the country, the a form where I put database name ¨ideas¨, username ¨root¨, password empty and prefix of table ¨wp_¨, when I summit the form I get a critical error and I cannot continue with the wordpress setup.

Will I tried And YAY!! therefor see the solution that i come with:

1- Go to

add the user you saw in define( 'DB_USER', 'bn_wordpress' ); and then add the same paswoord you putted in wp-config.php => Go_Hacker_Nothing_to_see_here XD

5- go to wordpress phpmyadmin, for me it was
6- go to xampp phpmyadmin Login as root or whatever then add new Database and call it as same as in the wp-config.php define( 'DB_NAME', 'bitnami_wordpress' );
With this database selected go to import "Next to export" and select the .sql file from your downloads folder.

-7 edit the port in table= wp_options for home and siteurl or just put them as http://localhost/wordpress/

8- with the bitnami_wordpress database selected go to PRIVILEGES then the wordpress user that you created select edit-PRIVILEGES then go to Database next to global and select the database you created for wordpress and press go. then select all and go.

9- in the wp-config.php edit this

define('WP_TEMP_DIR', 'C:\Bitnami\wordpress-5.8.3-0/apps/wordpress/tmp');
To
define('WP_TEMP_DIR', 'C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\temp');

Dont forget to create the file there
10- Go To http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin Login with the setup username and password, and delete all post in there!
11- Go to sittings then permalink and set Common Settings to Plain

**BTW:**WordPress Can Not be Installed With Xampp higher than 8.0.14
So if you want it to be with xampp Download 8.0.14 and then do what you did in your question. If you dont want to do all 11 steps.

BTW: you can uninstall wordpress we dont need it anymore
If you want to ask why all of that!!. i will till you because the MySQL server from the wordpress instalation is extremly slow and you dont want to run 2 port and 2 MySQL

Let me know what you got :)
