Okay. So whey I type localhost into the URL im getting an unable to connect

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost. The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Check you DB credentials in wp-config.

Depending on your local setup you may also need to access a local site at localhost:8888
