How to Installing WordPress Locally
Actually installing wordpress is easy but I suggest to you to learn about wordpress locally first, because if you instaling on your host and haven’t ever install and configure it will take a long time. in this post I will share to you how to install wordpress locally in windows XP operating system. let pay attention this steps below, you will finish it less then 10 minutes
- Get XAMPP lite for Windows. Choose the exe version, and install it at the root of your C drive. or you can use others web server such as appserver, phptriad and etc. but in this case I using XAMPP lite for Windows
- Browse to C:\xampplite and double
click setup_xampp.bat
- Once that is done, double
click xampp-control.exe and start the Apache and Mysql services.
- Open your browser and go to this address: http://localhost/. From the menu on the left column, choose your preferred language.
- Now that the interface displays a language that you can understand,
click on phpMyAdmin (on the left column once again) - Enter “
wordpress” (without quotes) in the “Create New Database” Field, and select utf8_unicode_ci in the drop down box in the next field (as shown in the picture below). Click on Create. The Xampp setup is now complete.
- Download WordPress and unzip it under c:\xampplite\htdocs. I recomend to you to use the lattest wordpress engine
- You should now have a
wordpress
folder under c:\xampplite\htdocs. Browse to the folder, and you will see a file named wp-config-sample.php. Open it in your favourite text editor and replace the default values by the ones you see under this paragraph. Save the file as wp-config.php (under the same
folder).
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’); // The name of the database
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘root’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ”); // …and password (needs to be empty, just for local install)
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
- Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php , follow the instructions, and voila, you are done.
That was easy wasn’t it???
