mysql install on localhost...

[Mike]

If I wanted to setup a vBulletin on my localhost, so I can test stuff out without having a website, how can I install it? Like the MySQL stuff. ;s

Sorry, don't know where this belongs.

download xampp you have the choise to install apache and mysql with it. or you can go the the makers microsoft version and click download. its a rather straight forword setup if you use xampp

Do as you normally would on a webhost, but use xampp or wampp

Download Apache of apachefoundation
Download php fron php.net
Download MySql Community server from mysql.com

Install apache using the settings you need. Install php (the config director is /apachefoundation/conf). The youw ill have to restart you web server make a fiel call it w/e.php test that works if so open httpd.conf and add index.php to the index fiels list. Restart again and test this worked. After that you can isntall MySql and configure it.

Or you can use just xampp? 1 click install
He's not trying to create a webhost

He is, how else would you be able to host a forum locally.
AJ is right though, just get xampp or wamp because its ezmode install.
