Installing WordPress locally on Windows 7 64 bit?

    Hi, I’m trying to install WordPress locally but I’m having problems. I tried XAMPP initially with no luck so I tried WAMP but I still can’t set up the wp-config.php file. It’s to do with PHP, it’s either not installed or I have the wrong version or something. I’m using Windows 7 64bit and the web server on WAMP is “Apache/2.2.17 (Win32) PHP/5.3.4” so I’m guessing its incompatible with 64bit Windows but I’m new to all this so it could be an earthworm tickling the dualcore substrata in the superflexibyte chipset for all I know.

    Can anybody help me?

    I really don’t want to use Web Platform Installer by the way because it threatened to install a huge amount of Microsoft junk with the WordPress install.

    What about bitnami? Can that install locally?

    Thanks in advance

  • That’s because it’s exactly the same whether your moving from live site A to live site B or from xampp to live site.

    @mlaungani you don’t even have to read that entry on codex.. its quite simple..

    export database(all that’s in it related to wordpress) upload whole wordpress folder from localhost to live and then import sql file to phpmyadmin. and then just update row siteurl and home in wp_options with new url. and that’s it, you are ready to continue what you did on xampp.

    cheers, hope you understand it..

    Hi,

    Thanks, i tried what you said, and this is the error that i get

    p.s: It’s a link to the image i uploaded.

    export whole database and not tables.. there is huge difference so instead selecting tables and then export go right away to export..

    EDIT: if you are still getting that error find some tutorial on exporting/importing data from mysql, because obviously you are doing something wrong..
