How to install xampp server to support Wordpress as a Local server?

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

I am not an expert on the most popular Content management Software (CMS) WordPress but trying to learn it. If you eager to learn something on WP just keep touch with my blog Ledbd Wordpress Tips. Toady I will share one of my experience when I started first time customizing something inside wordperss.

I was hardly looking the way how to install wordpress on the local host server. From the very beginning I was stated to use WAMP (Windows Apache MySQL PHP) as a local server and that was very older version. You easily could understand the wamp will work only for windows but you could collect for MAMP for Mac OS, Lamp for Limux. At this moment it is running WampServer 2.0i which got released on July 11 2009 even you will get the updated version serially. That time I could not work with the older version of WAMP.

Later I understood that I could find more information and could find out xampp which was also an older version from its server. It also had problems too. But when I got 1.6.7 version in my hand I could work very comfortably.

Installation of the free server is very easy. You will not face in pressure or more technical knowledge. But if you use Windows service pack 2 then it could appear a window which will show a message asking Block or unblock. You just have to click on unblock. Later you will do as it wants.

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

Recently, I have read a bangle blog, where the users are asking information for uploading there files on the server. Well, this is not easy to anyone because it needs some knowledge on server maintains. But very easy for them who like to read the instruction inside the web-server or control panel. Yes, you are eagerly waiting to know the site of the free domain hosting website. It is noting but Freehostia is perhaps one the of the popular free web hosting website.

Inside the control panel, you will get the visual information and video tutorials that could help you to solve the problems easily.

First step: register a new domain free and you will get 250MB hosting space and 6GB data transfer. You will get the site as a sub-domain according to your desire name (example.freehostia.com). The auto response server will sent you an ID, User name and password in you email address within 30 minutes that you used during the registration. Log in you email and take the user name and password.

Second step: now write on your browser address bar cp.freehostia.com and you will get a page where it will asks you to log in. after log in you will be sent to your domain control panel.

Three step: In most of the websites, there are three options to upload file in the hosting as per I know (my experience). Internal file manager, FrontPage Extensions and FTP manager can help you to upload the files on your free web hosting.

Friday, August 28th, 2009

Those people who like to woks on open source content management web based software they have weakness on open source free software like PHP, MySQL, Apache etc. here I am explaining about PHP tutorials on website. Lynda.com, Total tutorials is most popular websites where you will get more information about it from basic, advance and expert tutorials. But it is not free of cost. All of them you have to buy. I personally have weakness on Lynda.com and Total tutorials. But here I am giving some information about free websites on PHP.

On W3schools website, you will get basic to advance level text based tutorials on PHP and even you can take part free exam too.  There is another option to become W3school certified PHP expert by taking examination but you have to pay for it.

PHP.net is the official website of PHP. If anyone wants to be expert on php, it will be the best option to choose.

Tizag: Tizag is similar text base tutorial website like w3schools.

Opensourcetutorials.com is a text and visual instruction based php learning website

Phpvideotutorials.com is video php learning site

Killerphp.com is Object Oriented PHP learning for Beginners. This is comparatively well but you have buy in advance stage.
