    Are you using MAMP for your local install?

    You may run as many sites locally on your Mac as your hard drive has room for; that is the only limit ?? And they don’t have to all be WP sites either. You can also install and run scripts such as Joomla!, Drupal, eFront, Moodle, PrestaShop, etc. Basically any one that uses PHP and MySQL.

    Instructions? Just do the same as you did for the first one:

    – create a new, empty database
    – create a new folder in the root of the local host and copy the contents of the unZIPped WP install package into it
    – run the install

    I’ve installed xampp locally onto a Windows 2008 Server and through that, WordPress. This has installed WP into a folder C:\xampp\apps\wordpress.

    I can access the site and the admin dashboard by going to https://localhost/wordpress and https://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin respectively.

    I’m having problems creating a second site. I have created a new, blank, database in MySQL but no matter where I copy the contents of the WP zip file to, I can’t seem to navigate to the install.php file in the wp-admin folder.

    Using IIS, generally speaking, the root of localhost would be C:\inetpub\wwwroot. Where is the root folder when using xampp? IIS is installed using port 81, xampp is using port 80.

    AHA TIA
