These are the simplest instructions available. I found this after googling around for how to fix this and how to configure that and the occasional “WTF was that?! how do I fix that??“.
- Go here.
- Download the installer.
- Wait….
- Run the installer.
- Click OK about 4 or 5 times.
- Walk away.
- Make a sandwich, drink a beer…eat your sandwich. This step is crucial.
- Come back.
- Marvel in how simple that was and wonder if you will ever attempt to install all that stuff yourself again.
- Done.
Now wasn’t that simple?!
All kidding aside, I spent the better part of a few days trying to get all of the cofiguration files tweaked and then get the Apache/PHP/MySQL stuff running locally so that I could view my websites without FTPing them to the server and debugging the errors from there. A friend of mine directed me to this site and I’ve since installed the apps on two machines. XAMPP takes all of the guess-work out of getting these services installed on your PC.
