I hate to be beaten. The database in phpMyadmin is a bit scary but on a local install it doesn't matter if it goes horribly wrong. Hi Darrin

Anyway I'm glad that you got your blog working; the most complicated part is exporting/importing the database. Hi Keith,

As you said in your article... this site will be for testing plugins etc so the non pretty permalinks is no big deal. I'll also use it for writing posts without eating up my bandwidth. Only thing not working is my Contact form 7 plugin - can't get it to send email. Thanks for your help and encouragement - never imagined that I could export and install a database using phpMyadmin.

Hi Keith,

Can you get a simple test blog (not a copy of your own live blog) set up and working on your local host?

Site loads but when I click on individual posts or pages I end up at the XAMPP splash screen. I use pretty permalinks so I used your "full working sample httpd.conf file" Path to my httpd.conf file was as you said... xampp/apache/conf/httpd.conf Any suggestions. Hi Darrin
