Hi you all knowers!

 

Now i want to ask if it is possible to install it on a testingserver on my own computer (I use Dreamweaver)

 

If this can be done and you know how please help me out!!! How is it done? If I can learn to do this myself I will save about 100 dollars!!! (this is the price of setting it up with basic costumation on my webhoster... not that high but since my budget is limited Id like to do so much I can by my own and let the pro do what I cant

 

Hoping to know soon!!! :thumbsup:

Download and install one of the free packages like EasyPHP or XAmpp.

You can't use DreamWeaver as you are used to using it. In whatever package you installed, you will need to copy a complete set of your shops file. This usually goes in a directory named www. You will need to upload a copy of your database using the phpmyadmin program. If you don't have that, you will need to download and install it. To be honest, I don't recall if it comes with the package or not since it has been so long since I installed mine. Your configure files will have to be set to use the local server. How to do this is in the documentation that comes with whatever package you are using.
