Ok, now I am oconfused lol….
Do I have to download MySql and install it on my PC?
Do I have to download PHPMyAdmin and install it on my PC?
Do I have to download PHP and install it on my PC?
Do I really need to run a Bitnami local system to build this site….or is it acceptible to just build it live on the websierver? My host has a PHPMy Admin tool already available to use there…maybe that would be easier than doing it the way I am for a beginner?

Thanks! But when I try and run Xampp, I have tried to click “START” to the rigt of MySQL and it shows as “Running” in green for about three seconds, then stops. Is this because I installed it as a seperate install fro MS website? Is it because Its alreasy using a port XAMPP is expecting to be abloe to use? I assume without this runing, I am dead in the water?
Also, when I click Admin of MYSQL it says : phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in your configuration and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.
try to start again, and wait.

you can’t access phpmyadmin, if mysql status is not lit up in green.
stop apache and mysql.
then checkmark the option in the left side to install as services

Followed the instructs above…still cant get “Running” by MySQL 🙁 Do you think I screwed up the MySQL installation by doing another install (standalone) of MySQL prior? UUUG – thanks for all your help!

ok now I am in PHPMYADMIN – cool! Ok, so I need to locate the install where BITNAMI has my current website theme installed? And then import the DUMP file there using PhPMyAdmin? Something like that lol?
install wordpress first.
then activate your theme.
the last, import dump file (follow the TM’s instructions)
