For Web Developer that use WordPress for their publising tools, sometimes need to add code, tweak, add plugins, or create new themes, And if you Desktop running Windows Family (2000, XP, 2003, Vista) you can test you code in you local machine before upload to real server.

What wel’ll need in this tutorial? We need Latest WordPress publising engine from here, latest XAMPP from ApacheFriends that you can grab this one here. Maybe you need this one too, the nicely editor for you windows.

If you was have that all, let’s begin to ride on.
First Time, You need Install you XAMPP application just like usually windows application, use default configuration for easy way.

Before edit the apache configuration, you need extract WordPress to somewhere, example extract to

C:\wordpress


After XAMPP installation completed and WordPress extract completed too, next you need tweak you XAMPP application to make a better, and make you WordPress running good. Open Windows Explorer and go to XAMPP Installation folder, default installation is located in

C:\Program Files\xampp

And go to folder apache\conf then open httpd.conf with Notepad or Notepad++ (you need install this before use this app), after httpd.conf open find this line


#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so


Then delete this code #, so the code become like this


LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so


Then find this lines


# DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your
# documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but
# symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.
#
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs"


Replace wthe document root to wordpress extract folder (example)


# DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your
# documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but
# symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.
#
DocumentRoot "C:/wordpress"


And find this line too


#
# This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
#
< Directory "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs">


Change to wordpress folder again


#
# This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
#
< Directory "C:/wordpress">


After that line completed edit, safe the httpd.conf and close the editor then restart the apache xampp via xampp control panel.

Next you need add wordpress databases for you WordPress, to do this, Open your browser (ex. Mozilla Firefox) then type on your address bar http://localhost/phpmyadmin

Wait a second PhpMyAdmin will load, then add new database for you WordPress. After completed edit you WordPress database, you can begin to install WordPress, just replace the old URL on address bar with this address http://localhost, and you will get this message.


There doesn't seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started. Need more help? We got it. You can create a wp-config.php file through a web interface, but this doesn't work for all server setups. The safest way is to manually create the file.


Like on that message, in Windows we can easy install with just click and add some value, ok next is click that link(create a wp-config.php file through a web interface,) and you’ll redirect to this page.

Next is click Let’s go link, then you redirect to this page

And fill all that value (like database name, user, password, prefix etc) after completed click Submit button and you will redirect to this page

And click running the install, you will redirect to this page

And Click First Step, and you will redirect to this page

And completed all that request field and click next again and you will get the auto password for the first time, and use it for first time login.

Thats all, you are ready to work and begin to tweak your WordPress on you local machine, in next tutorial add multiple host with apache on you windows, so you can have more than one website in single apache web server, this call Virtual Host and still on Windows.
