Warren in G-talk on the message asked, how to install the local xampp, so simply write a tutorial, together with the article.
Usually, you have to install a Web site program or blog program to do debugging, you need to install apache,mysql,php a lot of things, complex can make people die of headaches. And Xampp is an easy to use Apache server suite, including MySQL, PHP and Perl, etc., do not need any professional knowledge and cumbersome configuration, easy to handle.
Here is a description of the use of XAMPP in the local Build WordPress blog program:
To download WordPress and XAMPP.
WordPress Download Address: http://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/
XAMPP Download Address: http://xdowns.com/soft/1/71/2007/Soft_38520.html
Install XAMPP.
Just one next, remember to check if MySQL, Apache, Filezilla, or pre-installed Htdocs folders and checkboxes appear when you start. FileZilla can not.
Note: When installing, it is best to close other applications, especially like FlashFXP, thunder, Skype and so on by default to use the 80-port program, or it may not start even the normal installation of Apache services. Of course, you can also change the ports of these programs before you install them.
WordPress unzipped, get the folder WordPress put into the Xampp/htdocs folder inside.
Start xampp and keep MySQL and Apache in a "Running" state.
Enter Localhost/phpmyadmin in the browser, this is the local phpmyadmin, create a new database, here I assume the database name is "Pademo", you can also set the other name you like.
