Hi, Can anyone point me in the right direction.

Im trying to setup my shop on my pc so i can modify and preview the changes without uploading the site back onto the hosting server

Im working on a winXP and I downloaded the whole site using the fpt in dreamweaver but i want to be able to see the changes as i make them.

If anyone can tell me what software bits i need and how to set this up with the site ive just download as this would be a great help to a beginner.

Cheers kev

Download EasyPHP and this will install PHP, Apache, and MySQL.

Another supplier of Apache/MySQL/PHP for Windows 32 bit machines is http://www.firepages.com.au. Look for 'phpdev bundles' and 'phpdev FAQ' under Downloads. (Stick to the 4.2.3 until 5 is at least out of beta.)

It is a doddle to install.

At the top of the EasyPHP page, there should be a flag to select English as the language.

1. Double-click the EasyPHP icon and add the line below MySql errors in English

--skip-name-resolve --language=english

 

2. Make sure you have Expert mode checked.

This adds two entries to your mouse right-click popup menu

one being Configuration | phpMyAdmin.

3. Make sure you press Apply. Or else it does not save your changes.

4. The most useful is phpMyAdmin. You can also access it via

http://localhost/mysql/

 

By the way. Did you install the

English Files first.

 

5. Remove the index.php since your intended purpose is to debug.

 

Enjoy,
