In short, I would have to set up a development environment in my local system.įor this, I would download two separate applications, the web server application, and the database. If the website required having a database, my next step would be to set that up as well. To create a website, the first step would be to set up a server on a local computer. I recall my early days as a website developer. Download and install WordPress on your local computer Step 1: Download and Install XAMPP on Your Local Computer.Learn WordPress Without a Domain and Hosting.
Why Set up a WordPress Website Locally?.If you are ready, time now to… RUN THE INSTALL WordPress can now communicate with your database. So we need to change wordpress folder permission with: sudo chmod 777 -R /opt/lampp/htdocs/wordpressĪll right sparky! You’ve made it through this part of the installation. Just navigate back to previous page by clicking back button in browser or Alt+Left-Arrow. You can create the wp-config.php manually and paste the following text into it.ĭon’t worry, we will fix it in time. Sorry, but I can’t write the wp-config.php file. In mysql user and password, type ‘root’ as user and leave password blank. In a browser go to url: I named it ‘wordpress’, then go to: just follow the instructions… Okay now to install wordpress, but before that I suggest you to create a database for wordpress in mysql. If you doing it right try open, an xampp language selection page will be showed. Wait until “XAMPP for Linux started.” message is appeared. Now let’s get lampp started! sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start Then move the folder to htdocs with: sudo mv wordpress /opt/lampp/htdocs Next is to extract wordpress to current directory using command: sudo tar xvfz Note: there is no ‘root’ user on ubuntu, so make sure if you are using user that have enough privilege to do this. First install lampp as instructed from the site on /opt/ directory, So I just run a command in a terminal using: sudo tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.7.3a.tar.gz -C /opt Īfter all needed files have been downloaded, next is to install. What I need is to get lampp on and the latest stable release of WordPress on.

Here is the story, I want to try to create a wordpress site on my local computer, so I need to install apache web server and mysql first. Oh, if you’re new to ubuntu or want to start using ubuntu linux, there is a new version of ubuntu 10.10 that was about released yesterday, and I want it now. So lately I was running ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) on Windows 7 32-bit using VirtualBox.
