 * Hey there,
 * I have been through alot of helpful articles however after going through all 
   of them i have managed to resolve half the problem, and the other half still 
   remain.
 * I have mowes portable installed on usb stick, at work the apache ran perfectly
   and so did wordpress, at home i had issues. BUT i realised through the wiki, 
   that my port was the issue, i have changed the port number and localhost, now
   i can access my localhost.
 * On my localhost page i have two links one to phpMyAdmin and the other is WordPress.
   phpMyAdmin works fine but when i click on wordpress it gives me ‘HTTP Error 404.
   The requested resource is not found.’
 * So, i did change in wp-config, the localhost to the exact port number i have 
   changed it earlier but still no luck.
 * Any help will be appreciated. Thank You.

 * To run WordPress as far as i know, you need apache and mysql running, you can
   download software packages that cater for wordpress in bundles, i tend to use‘
   mowes portable’.

 * Once thats install, get your copy of wordpress, pste it into www folder in mowes,
   access any browser type in localhost and your done. (i hope)

 * SORTED!!!
 * Basically i had this funny feeling, i had ,Net framework and IIS installed earlier
   and basically this was blocking my apache and mysql access. So i thought how 
   about disabling the IIS and .NET, to do so a quick google resulted, in searching
   for ‘windows feature’ through windows search function and uncheck the .NET frame
   and IIS.
 * Done and dusted……………
 * PEACE!!!
