Here's how I did it:
- Download Apache Web Server. I took the 2.2.4 version. At the time of this writing, these are the latest stable versions.
- Download MySQL Server. 5.0.45.
- Download PHP. 5.2.3.
- Download Wordpress. 2.2.2.
- Install them all.
- Test and figure out why it's not working.
- Tada, a fully functional system.
The thing is, I've done this sort of setup in the past for the Joomla CMS. The installation is pretty much the same.
My Comments:
- Prefer to use these technologies in Linux because it is easier with all the shell power among other things. LAMP is LAMP after all.
- I'm kind of annoyed that the naming for the pages for the Apache Web Server is htdocs. It gave me some trouble looking for the file that contained the "It's works!" string.
- The httpd configuration file by default was set to only serve index.html. It did not include index.php.
- I encountered a bug wherein the PHP module does not work until the PC is restarted which was weird because it has been reported already 5 years ago. I had to restart the PC for the PHP module to work. This link helped me through it. Kind of funny because I was REALLY able to relate to the posters.
