Faizan — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 16:43:38 +0000

The Kaghan Valley is a valley in the north-east of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan. It attracts many tourists from around the world. The Kaghan valley is named after the town of Kaghan rather than for the Kunhar River which flows through the length of the valley. The valley extends 155 km, rising from an elevation of 2,134 feet (650 m) to its highest point, the Babusar Pass, at 13,690 feet (4,170 m). Popular languages are Hindko and Gojri, while Urdu, Pakistan’s national language is also familiar among the locals. The region is Alpine in geography and climate, with forests and meadows dominating the landscape below peaks that reach over 17,000 feet.

Basic Guide: How to Install WordPress on Localhost

AF8AB — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 13:15:54 +0000

This is a very basic guide to set up WordPress on your localhost. I develop custom WordPress blogs / websites and sometimes I have to test themes. For that I need WordPress on my localhost so I don’t have to run ftp softwares like File’fuggin’Zilla and move files around all the time on web server. Anyway, here is what you need to do.

I’m assuming you have Wampserver and mySql database running on your computer. If you don’t, you can go ahead and download Wamp setup from here. Installation is easy, ask your grandma to install it for you. Run it after its installed. Now,

Step 1 – Get latest version of WordPress from here.

Step 2 – Extract the contents of downloaded Zip in your C:\wamp\www

Step 3 – Rename the folder wordpress to whatever you want i-e NewBlog

Step 4 – Click the WAMPSERVER icon in system tray and click phpMyAdmin. Now look for MySQL localhost Section, Enter the name of your new database, It can be anything but remember it as you’re going to need it later on. Click Create and close the window.

Step 5 – Now open localhost in your browser. http://localhost/

Step 6 – Look for Your Projects section, you’ll find names of folders that are located in your c:/wamp/www/.. directory. Click the link of your new site ( same as the folder you renamed earlier i-e NewBlog )

Step 7 – You will see this message in your browser. Click ‘Create a Configuration File’ button.

Step 8 – Click ‘Lets go!’ on the next page.

Enter the same database name you created in phpMysql. Enter root for username and leave the password blank. Keep database host and table prefix as it is. Click Submit.

Congrats, your WordPress is ready to install. Next steps are as easy as touching yourself.

It will ask you to enter site name and password for the admin account. Follow the steps and once its done it will take you to your shiny Dashboard or to login screen. Easy cheesy, no rocket science; no dolphin pregnancy complications.

Have fun with WordPress.
