For XAMPP we can just keep it as localhost.
#Xampp wordpress local password
The default password for ‘root’ is nothing, so leave that blank. Next is DB_PASSWORD, or the password for the user we just specified. We didn’t create a new user, so we can use root (comes default in XAMPP). DB_USER is the user that has access to the database. You’ll notice below a few things we didn’t talk about. For database name, use whatever you created your database as. Open up wp-config-sample.php inside your /wordpress directory. I like to avoid the automatic wp-config creator, so let’s adjust that next. Now navigate to localhost/wordpress and run your installer. Open it and paste the /wordpress directory you just unzipped. Inside there should be an /htdocs directory. Open Finder and navigate to your /xampp directory that we created earlier. Unzip WordPress and copy the /wordpress directory. Placement here is key, so make sure your file structure is locked down. Step 4 – Installing WordPressĪt the time of this writing, WordPress 4.0 Beta 4 was the most recent version and is used for this demo. Nothing else, just the name of the database and boom, done. Then click databases and create a database. This will follow me setting up a database in phpMyAdmin so if you don’t care then move on to step 4.įrom Control Panel, click Admin in the MySQL row. I tend to create my databases via phpMyAdmin although you may have another program you like to run to set it up.
#Xampp wordpress local install
The hard part is over, so now we just have to install WordPress. You don’t need to restart XAMPP, you should be able to just click Start for Apache and it should run. In Connection, you can see that Use Port 80 and 443 is checked. Click on that and follow it to the Connection window. At the bottom of the Tools window you’ll see Advanced. This may throw you for a loop, but have no fear, I’ve got the solution.įrom your main Skype window, go to Tools. The boyfriend we need to get rid of so Apache can be with Port 443 forever is Skype (seen in error message). If you’re like me you saw an Apache error whining about “ehhhh I can’t work unless Port 443 is available.” Fine. Did you allow it through the firewall? Excellent. Step 2 – Running XAMPPīoot XAMPP Control Panel back up. At this point I like to restart my computer. If all has gone well the installer should be complete and your XAMPP Control Panel will open.
It will most likely block some features of Apache, so allow that access or it will hate you. You can get those modules here if you’d like.īeware the firewall. If you’d like to learn more about Bitnami’s installers for WordPress, Drupal, Magento, Joomla or others you can but I’m not going to cover that.
Only part is you have to make sure that the targeted directory is empty. I’m placing mine on me E: drive because I keep C: as clean as I can. Next you have to decide where you would like XAMPP to be located. Tomcat not so much, but it doesn’t hurt anything by being there. I’m leaving them at the default because I want all of them. You’ll have the choice to uncheck boxes and select or deselect components. Once you’ve downloaded the Bitnami software, unpackage that dude and load the wizard.
#Xampp wordpress local windows 7
I’m on Windows 7 64-bit (because I’m so fly) so that was the download I chose and where all screenshots will come from. Go here and download it for whatever operating system you are running. I figured I’d toss this together so you could get set up and be cool with me. First was Sublime Text, and now it’s time for XAMPP. I recently wiped my PC’s hard drive and am now re-installing everything that’s important for my dev environment.
