Just run the downloaded executable file, click Next, Next, Next, then done. So to setup a server that hosts my development copy, instead of seperatedly download and install and configure those complex Apache, MySQL, PHP, I obtained a copy of XAMPP which is a package with all Apache, MySQL, and PHP bundled (in case you’re wondering, X stands for “all major operating systems”, A for Apache, M for MySQL, 1st P for PHP, 2nd one for Perl). Even better, all software to be used are free/open source.
If you’re like me – always living on the news trying new cool stuffs – then here is a step-by-step guide, with no or very little coding involved. It was a true breeze – very easy and fast. I installed a local development version of on my own PC. So after that stupid “accident”, I decided to keep myself out of those risks.
The worst thing is, that mechanic Google didn’t forgive me about this, which resulted in a disappearance of from the first 2 result pages – ugh. Hacks, all the internal links were totally broken. Once I left my abandoned two days long, without even knowing that with my smart Like, if something goes wrong with the plugin you’re developing, the whole running site maybe broken, and you may lose hundreds of visitors and RSS subscribers before you know it. It may not be a big deal if your blog is new and has a limited userbase, but if you’re maintaining a big blog, then every little modification puts you in risk.
Being a WordPress user, there’re certainly times when you want to try something new with your blog – a new plugin, some hacks and tweaks, some theme fine-tunes etc.
