Alex, my apologies. acronym overload I guess (extracting foot from mouth).

If I can try to add something to this thread, I have run into 2 things:

First, the www directory has its own index file, prior to loading worpress into it, which also has an index. I renamed the wordpress index file for now, as the wamp index is localhost.

The wordpress index file will be needed on the host to load the wordpress environment and theme.

Do I have that straight so far? (really hoping you will answer)

Second, wamp will not work if anything is using port 80, lots of stuff online about this. Skype and microsoft IIS look to be the main culprits.

IIS was my problem, but after asurrance it could be disabled (from the wamp forum), I am finally in to localhost.

Thanks,

Erm, I’m not.

We’re going to be using something called Wamp Server.

ok, via wikipedia:

W=windows
M=Mac

So, why are you using MAMP to install worpress locally on windows?

What is the difference between WAMP and MAMP (other than inverted 1st letter)?

Really, I downloaded WAMP the other day and went to install it and follow the instructions here to realize…the obvious.

Any recommendation which s better?

Thanks

There is also Mowes Portable ( http://www.chsoftware.net/en/useware/mowes/mowes.htm ). A great portable apache + mysql server solution for Windows. You can keep everything in a usb stick, move, copy all the files from hard disk to disk, or even after a format, just run the executable : you won’t need to install anything.

Mowes also gives you great choices for what you wantto add to your portable server solution. They all come in single packages. Including phpmyadmin, ImageMagick, Drupal, Joomla, WordPress, etc…

While downloading you can select which packages you want with the executable. After downloading, Mowes will extract the packages once, and everything will be ready for use.

You mush definitely check that out, too.

That's definitely the shortest "How To" I think I've ever seen. Short and simple is usually best anyway! .-= BYurick´s last blog ..Wordpress Security Tip #3 =-.

There are also some stacks that come with WP pre-installed or with simplified installation. Perosnally I use MoWeS cause it's portable. Also heard good feedback about BitNami. .-= Rarst´s last blog ..Remove and fix Layered Service Provider (LSP) entries =-.
