  • Years ago I use to develop php on a local server type set up, but I couldn't tell you these days. Remember I had to install a version of MySQL, and the rest I don't remember. I find it easier just to do it on my hosting. Everything is already there.

    Have you not used the search engines? Sure there are plenty of pages to explain it.

  • I would probably use a virtual machine. Virtualbox is a good choice.

    • mojojuju, thanks for suggesting that. It's a nifty tool to have in one's arsenal box. I am right in understand that this is like having a virtual server in the cloud? If so, will this make it easy to migrate your files to a hosting company or can you host your site through this virtual box?

    • nuke07, thanks for the video link. I did that before installing AMPPS. I actually found out how to install WP using AMPPS except that I needed to figure out what some of the fieldnames are for but I think I have a good idea on what they are all for.
