Hi,

Does anyone know of a guide for installing WordPress > Apache > PHP > MySQL on Windows (in a corporate environment). DO I also need to install phpmyadmin?

I have inherited any future projects regarding WordPress and am a bit wet behind the ears when it comes to installing all of the above. I’m OK installing all the above software but not sure about configuring it all to work with WordPress.

Thanks,
Craig

I should also add that I know I can use WAMP but I would rather do it the hard way and learn as I go by installing them all separately.

Thanks,

Anyone?

Surely someone has a tried and tested method installing these apps in a Wintel environment?

Thanks,

There are probably much better places to ask about setting up Apache, PHP, and MySQL on Windows, and there are probably some nicely detailed guides that can be found via Google.

Once you have that running, follow this guide to install WordPress: http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Installing_WordPress

Hi,

Thanks for the response. I have found numerous guides for installing Apache, PHP and MySQL but they all go about it in slightly a different way. I have tried a few but when it comes to taking a clone of another WordPress website and trying to get it to work it fails. So I do not know if it’s my application installs that are iffy or the clone of a website.

Thanks,

When you “[take] a clone of another WordPress website,” are you following this guide?

I’m not sure if this is what I am looking for. I need to setup a dev box and take a copy of the live website and restore it to Dev for obvious development reasons.

When I restore the database and website files to the dev server I’d like to use a different database and website name.

Once you have the server setup, follow this guide to move everything over:

You can then change the database name and wp-config.php file accordingly.
