Got to the Control panel bit and only mysql will start ( running highlighted in green) , its says apache is started below but it does not have the green running next to it and the admin button is not lit up?
are these steps something you do in the xampp control panel
7. Click the phpMyAdmin link in the left-hand column.

8. In the Create New Database box enter the words wordpress

as at the moment i cant see a phpmyadmin link in the left hand column

thanks for any advice

Lisa,
Great article. Just had a quick question about WordPress: Do you know if you can set it up so your blog posts can be exported to your website as a news module or something that sort? I’ve been googling this, but fear I must be using the wrong terminology or something. I’d love to set up a blog that also posts news stories to the main page of my website. Thanks for all your helpful resources!

Beautiful tutorial, thank you lots Lisa!

Just a note to whoever might have issues:
1) to go ‘phpMyAdmin’ (in step 7) you need to click the ‘admin’ button next to the ‘MySQL’ database module shown in step 5 (may be that was only in d case for XAMPP install!)
2) take note of comment 27 while editing wp-config file, and
3) make sure you uncheck the ‘work offline’ mode for your browser (under file) if some reason u disabled your net connection before the installations.

Thank goodness someone came up with this. I was pulling my hair out (what little I have left!) trying to figure this out! The only way I could edit anything before was on the server side. Now if I only knew how to pull in an existing site (and make a local copy to edit) and then re-upload it back to the server!!

hi there! i’ve been experimenting with wordpress in my local server using xampp for more than a month now. just a while ago, i experiences this problem.. my links to other pages won’t work. at first it was redirecting to xampp’s homepage. then i decided to uninstall xampp and install again.. now, when i click on the links for other wordpress page, it gives me this Object Not Found error 404. what could have gone wrong?
