Install XAMPP for Windows.

INSTALL XAMPP FOR WINDOWS.

This tutorial will show you how to install XAMPP for Windows XP, Vista 32 & 64-bit, and Server 2003. There is very little difference concerning the installation and configuration among the different versions.

This tutorial was created using XAMPP 1.7.0 which includes:

  • Apache HTTPD 2.2.11 + Openssl 0.9.8i
  • MySQL 5.1.30
  • PHP 5.2.8
  • phpMyAdmin 3.1.1
  • FileZilla FTP Server 0.9.29
  • Mercury Mail Transport System 4.52

Windows Server 2003 was used as the OS, but the installation is the same on all versions.

If you'd rather use my written tutorial, then go HERE.

 

1.) First, let's get started by going and downloading the latest version of XAMPP.

http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html

Once you've done that, go ahead and watch this tutorial.

 

Now that you've finished that, you can go and check out some of the options you have for adding on to your website and putting content on it by going to Step 2- Choosing Components (add-ons).

 

** ADDITIONAL NOTES **

For some reason, you may see the following error when you check the security in the XAMPP setup menu after setup.

Acess Forbidden!

You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

Error 403

The way to fix it is by doing the following:

 

  1. Open the file "\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf" with notepad.
  2. replace "Allow from localhost" with "Allow from 127.0.0.1" (2 times)
  3. Save the file and close it.
  4. Restart Apache


You should be able to click on Security and see the window displayed correctly now.

!!REMEMBER: Support Forums!!

I still keep getting requests for support in the comments of posts and unfortunately I cannot give adequate responses due to the fact there's limited space and it just isn't the right place for support.
I therefore am encouraging visitors to PLEASE go to http://forum.myownserver.info for any support related questions. You will NOT receive any spam or anything you don't specifically subscribe to! I'm very meticulous about this myself and if at any time you need help stopping notifications from posts you previously subscribed to, contact me and I will promptly fix the issue.

Thank you for your participation in this!
