hi Shyam,
in the second stage you give the information of the Database Connection,
in this stage no control if it correct.
Mow the next stage the oxwall-installer will connect with this information to the
Database to write the necessary tables in the DB.
At this point the oxwall-installer cant connect to the Database-Server (i think by you the MySQL).
Please check the "login" Data for your Database.
look to understand the basics.

Hi !
Verify in your httpd.conf if there is 'allow from all'
More, On your router, you have to redirect your tcp port 80 into your IP adress.

OK...
-a- http://localhost/oxwall = only same PC where WAMP with oxwall
-b- http://IPofPCwhoWAMPis/oxwall = call from anywhere inside Local-Network
-c- http://PCNAMEwhoWAMPis/oxwall = call from anywhere inside Local-Network
if -b- and -c- not work, verify if have the Firewall correct statements for the WAMP communication.
HTTP connect from outside of your Local-Lan (e.g. from internet), you need a Port-Forward (port 80) inside your Router to the PC-IP with WAMP, and publish your Internet-Connection IP that anyone can see your Pages.
Further Information of Port-Forward and Dynamic-IP Services, please look in your Router Manuals, there must be articles for this section.
hope it help

Please contact your hosting provider support, make sure your server is configured properly: http://www.oxwall.org/hosting , and ask them to fix the issue.

OK, when people are asking questions about installing WAMP (local environment) and Oxwall getting the advice to contact their hosting provider, i personally think it's time to move to another piece of software......especially when that advice comes from someone with the word "team" on their avatar.... :-S

The problem Lov experiences is related to the server setting which conflicts with the script. Which is why this must be handled by the hosting company not us. They should check the server logs and find out what setting causes this error

The problem lov experiences can be one of several, for example the allow-deny in directory settings inside httpd.conf, it can be because mod_rewrite isn't switched on (it is actually by default turned OFF in a standard WAMP installation etc.etc.)
What het can't do is call a hosting provider, simpel as that. Any hosting provider running WAMP for its users is, well, let's call it amateuristic.
Furthermore, lov stated more than once that he is running WAMP as a local installation which has nothing to do with his service provider. If you read the error het pasted you can see that it has the (standard) admin@localhost domain admin email address in the error etc.etc.
So, to just cut a long story short: Ross, you answer was just plain and simple very wrong and it shows you not only having absolute no knowledge whatsoever about WAMP or servers (or providers for that matter), it also shows that you didn't even read the questions asked and if someone asks a question you don't know the answer to, maybe it is best to just stay out of the conversation or am i saying something stupid now?
Lov can do several things but he cannot call his hosting provider to help him adjust settings on his own local WAMP environment....
