Yesterday I was promise you to made some tutorial about “How to install wordpress into local host using Xampp“. Have you notice about it..?. Before go further please download and install Xampp into your computer firstly. Once that is done:

1. Double click Xampp.exe

2. click The Apache and Mysql application.

3. Open your firefox and point it to “http://localhost/”

4. Now you’ll see the entire interface and please prefer which your language.

5. In the right site click the phpMyAdmin.

6. At here you will be create new database. In the “create new database” field enter whatever name you want to use. For studies I just using “bloglocalhost”and select utf8_unicode_ci in the drop down box in the field. Make sure you do it right. Finally, click on create.

7. Download the latest wordpress here.

8. Unzip it under c:\xampplite\htdocs or somewhere you has install Xampp before.

9.Browse the wordpress folder and open file named wp-confiq-simple.php with notepad or whatelse text editor you have. Change it just like what I shown below:


// ** MySQL settings ** //
define(’DB_NAME’, ‘bloglocalhost’); // The name of the database
define(’DB_USER’, ‘root’); // Your MySQL username
define(’DB_PASSWORD’, ”); // …and password (needs to be empty, just for local install)
define(’DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

10. Save the file as wp-config.php under the same folder.

11. Open firefox and pointing it to http://localhost/bloglocalhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php. Here you know where should you go.

That all, don’t forget to practice this by youself :)
