Editor's Notes
- http://code.tutsplus.com/articles/how-to-setup-a-wordpress-development-environment-for-windows--wp-23365
- From TopIDE Top IDE Index http://pypl.github.io/IDE.html Based on how often IDEs are searched on Google from Google Trends
- Opinions - everyone has one and yours is the only one that doesn't stink.
- Version 7.0.6 DID not work on Mac.
- Version numbers are not for your operating system, but for the version of XAMPP and correspond to the version of PHP included. Download the one that is the same that is running on your host.
- Open the downloaded Mac package
- Windows
- Only in Windows Version are you asked for language.
- Issue when initially starting XAMPP on Windows 10 - Port 80 in use. You can disable it by going to Programs and Features. Click on Turn Windows features on or off. Uncheck Internet Information Services and also Internet Information Services Hostable Web Core if it is checked. Click OK to remove those applications.
- Turn of Windows IIS
- Read the HOW-TO Guides for setting up virtual hosts
- These are the folders you will be going into to make configuration change
- This is the root of the web server. You can replace it, but you will lose all the XAMPP How To Guides and tools.
- Localhost -> How To Guides -> Configure Virtual Hosts
- <directory "C:/users/John/Desktop/htdocs/wcavl/"> Require all granted </directory> Fixed a 403 access denied error.
- Create wcavl (or whatever you want to name it) folder in XAMPP/htdocs folder Create alias and move alias to your desktop or where ever you want it stored.
- MAMP Free or Pro for $60
- See: http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/vhosts_mamp.php for instructions.
- Opinions - everyone has one and yours is the only one that doesn't stink.
- Vagrant up the first time takes quite a while...
- On Windows - run "vagrant up" from a command line with Administrator privileges.
