 Problems trying to install Wordpress locally on XP laptop Hi all, I'm trying to follow the instructions here: Installing WordPress Locally Under Windows XP - [Geeks are Sexy] technology news to install a local version of Wordpress (so I can play around with templates). I'm getting stuck at step 4: I get a "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" error every time I try to go to cPanel® When I run the xampp-portcheck file, it all looks fine (I had to uninstall Skype, which I don't use anyway, as that was taking up port 80). apache.exe is showing on the Apache http and the Apache https, and mysql.exe on the MySQL line. I'm not a programmer and pretty stumped at this point; I thought I could just follow the step-by-step instructions to get it running! I'm on a wireless network, accessing the internet via a desktop, but I can't see how that would affect my localhost IP or anything? Thanks so much for any help or ideas... Ali

 You might want to try WAMP Install PHP 5 Apache MySQL on Windows : WampServer I usually do my web development on Linux, but a few weeks ago I needed to take what I was working on (Joomla with VirtueMart...can't recomend it  ) with me, and only had my TabletPC which runs WinXP TabletPC edition (more or less the same as WinXP Pro).Wamp was just a straight forward install. Then start wamp, and everything worked. Apache, PHP, MySql, phpMyAdmin. I don't think WordPress is that different, so it shouldn't be a problem. Edit: I use Wamp while using Skype, with no problem.
