Qu'est-ce que XAMPP ?

En général, XAMPP est un serveur local que vous pouvez installer sur votre ordinateur
pour imiter un serveur Web réel. Il est multiplateforme car il fonctionne sur plusieurs
systèmes d'exploitation.
Le nom XAMPP lui-même est un acronyme de multiplateforme (X), Apache (A), MariaDB
(M), PHP (P) et Perl (P). XAMPP est super pratique à installer et à utiliser. Il installe tout ce
dont vous avez besoin pour exécuter WordPress. En plus de cela, vous pouvez utiliser
XAMPP pour créer des installations locales d'autres solutions de site Web telles que
Drupal, Joomla, PrestaShop, PHPBB et OpenCart.
La bonne chose à propos de XAMPP est qu'il est livré avec d'autres outils utiles comme
le serveur de messagerie Mercury, phpMyAdmin (pour l'administration de la base de
données), OpenSSL, Apache Tomcat (pour l'exécution de code JAVA), Webalizer (pour
l'analyse du journal du serveur Web) et le serveur FTP FileZilla.
Pourquoi XAMPP pour WordPress ?

XAMPP vous permet de configurer de nouvelles installations WordPress en quelques
clics. De plus, il est hébergé localement sur votre ordinateur. Ainsi, vous pouvez
rapidement télécharger vos modifications et les voir en direct sur le navigateur.
The current recommended WordPress requirements include:
PHP version 7.3 or greater

HTTPS support
MySQL version 5.6 or higher / MariaDB version 10.1 or higher
Apache or Nginx server
Thankfully, XAMPP checks all the boxes listed above. It is incredibly reliable, easy-to-
use, and works on all major platforms.
Why Install WordPress Locally on

Windows PC?
When you talk about website development, most of them are developed locally on
personal and work computers instead of online. Using the local environment is very
important as it lets you create and test new WordPress themes and plugins and
experiment without affecting the live website.
This is one of the main reasons why installing WordPress locally on Windows PC is very
important. Developing a website in a local environment is very secure as no one can
access the files you’re working on.
The following are the reasons why you should install WordPress locally on Windows PC:
Testing:
Installing WordPress locally on Windows allows you to test upgrades, tweaks, and other
customizations safely.
Website Staging:
The local WordPress website can be used as a WordPress staging site. Once you make
the modifications you want, you can upload them to your live website.
Development:
The local version of WordPress is the best environment to create and modify different
WordPress themes and plugins.
Offline Access:
A local installation of WordPress doesn’t need an active internet connection. As a result,
you can access your local installation even if your connection goes down or if you are in
a remote place and have no internet access.
Security and Privacy:

Security and privacy are both maintained when you install WordPress locally on your
computer. You can only access a local WordPress installation on your PC. As a result, this
is more secure than a WordPress website installed online.
Speed:
Comparatively, local WordPress installations run quicker than their online counterparts.
Installing it locally saves you ample time.
Steps to Install XAMPP and WordPress

Locally
Now, let’s begin the installation and setup process of XAMPP and WordPress on
Windows PC:
Step 1: Download XAMPP and Install it on Your

Computer
For the first step, go to https://www.apachefriends.org/ and click on the XAMPP for
Windows button to download XAMPP on your Windows PC.
You need to wait for a bit as the file size is around 155 MB.
After the download finishes, run the .exe file to launch the XAMPP installer. Click on the
Next button to continue.
In the next step, you should select the server and program language components you
want to install. All components are already selected by default. As you don’t need every
element to install XAMPP and WordPress, just tick on MySQL and PHPMyAdmin and
click on the Next button.
Next up, you need to select the folder where you want to install XAMPP. It’s better to
leave it as the default. Click on the Next button to proceed.
Once you get redirected to the next screen, select your preferred language, and click
on the Next button.
Next up, you will get a prompt related to the information about Bitnami for XAMPP. As
you don’t need this to install XAMPP and WordPress, uncheck the option and click on
the Next button.
On the next screen, you can see the message. The setup is ready to begin installing
XAMPP on your computer. Click on the Next button and wait for few minutes until it
gets completely installed.
Once the process completes, you can click on the Finish button and launch the control
panel to start working with XAMPP.
Step 2: Run the Modules and Test Your Server

You need to run two modules: Apache and MySQL to install XAMPP and WordPress
properly on your Windows PC. You can easily start both modules from the XAMPP
control panel as shown in the figure below:
Once you start the modules, you can see their status turn to green.
After that, you can now check if your local server is working or not by going to
http://localhost/ in your web browser.
If you see a screen similar to the above, you are good to go. Now, it’s time to add the
WordPress files and get your WordPress website up and running on XAMPP.
Step 3: Adding WordPress Files

To start adding WordPress files, first, you need to download the latest version of
WordPress from https://wordpress.org/
After that, explore the folder where you installed XAMPP and find the htdocs subfolder
in that main folder.
Inside the htdocs folder of XAMPP, create a new folder for your test site. The folder
name you create becomes the sub-name used to access your site. For instance, if you
name the folder test, you can access your site by going to http://localhost/test.
Once you create the folder, extract the WordPress.zip file that you downloaded a while
ago in that folder.
Now, you need to create a database for WordPress in the next step.
Step 4: Create a Database for WordPress

In the next step, you have to create a MySQL database for your WordPress install. To do
that, make sure the MySQL module is active from the control panel and then visit
http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ from your browser.
Now, click on Databases at the top.
Once you are redirected to the database creation menu, enter your database’s name
and click on the Create button.
Make sure to remember your database’s name as you need to use it for the next step.
Step 5: Install WordPress Locally Using On-Screen

Installer
Now, you are set to install WordPress locally on your Windows PC. For that, you need to
access the folder where you previously extracted your WordPress files. Enter this URL
on your browser:
http://localhost/FOLDERNAME
In our case, the folder name is test. Hence, the URL becomes http://localhost/test.
Now, select the language you prefer and click on the Continue button to go to the next
step.
In the next step, you can go through some important instructions regarding the
upcoming steps and then click the Let’s go button to proceed further.
Now, this is the most crucial part of the installation process. Here, you need to input the
name of the database that you created earlier and fill up the information as shown
below. Once you input all the information, click on the Submit button.
Next up, click on the Run the installation button to proceed.
In the next screen, input the details like site title, username, password, and email, and
then click on the Install WordPress button to complete the installation process.
Now, you can easily log in to your WordPress dashboard with the username and
password you set earlier. For that, go to http://localhost/FOLDERNAME/wp-login.php
There you go! You have successfully installed WordPress locally on your Windows PC.
Your WordPress dashboard should appear similar to this:
Steps to Setup WordPress Multisite

Locally With XAMPP
Follow these steps to setup WordPress multisite locally with XAMPP:
Step 1: Enable WordPress Multisite in Your wp-

config.php File
To initiate the process, open your wp-config.php file and add the following line of code
as shown in the image below. To access the wp-config.php file, go to the folder where
you installed XAMPP and redirect to htdocs -> FOLDERNAME -> wp.config.php.
Line of code to include:
define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
Note: You can edit the config file simply using Notepad++ or Sublime Text.
Step 2: Setup Your Multisite Network

Now, login to your WordPress dashboard and then redirect to Tools -> Network Setup
from the left sidebar.
On the next step, enter the name of your multisite network and your network admin
email address. After that, click on the Install button to continue.
Next up, WordPress will prompt you to edit your wp-config.php and .htaccess files. You
need to add the codes provided by WordPress in the respective files.
Now let’s show you how you can edit these files in the next step.
Step 3: Edit wp-config.php and .htaccess Files

Open your wp-config.php file (xampp -> htdocs -> FOLDERNAME -> wp.config.php)
and add the code given by WordPress before the line reading /* That’s all, stop editing!
Happy publishing. */
Lines of code to include:
define('MULTISITE', true);
define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false);
define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'localhost');
define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/test/');
define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
Next up, open .htaccess file (xampp -> htdocs -> FOLDERNAME -> .htaccess) and
replace all of its code with the one provided by WordPress.
Lines of code to include:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /test/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin

RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/
[R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-
(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
After you complete all of these processes, you will have to log in again to your
WordPress dashboard.
Once you log in, you will be able to access individual sites in your multisite network from
your dashboard.
Steps to Install WordPress Using Bitnami

Bitnami is an application package that simplifies the process of installing popular open-
source applications. As we have mentioned earlier, while installing XAMPP, you can see
the promotion of this solution, which is also referred to as an all-in-one tool.
You can download the Bitnami WordPress Module from the Bitnami Modules for XAMPP
page as shown in the image below:
Once the file gets downloaded, run the setup wizard then select your preferred
language and press the Next button.
In the next step, you need to select the folder where XAMPP was previously installed.
Click the Next button once you locate it.
Next up, fill in the details, and Bitnami will create your WordPress admin account.
Now, simply enter the name of your WordPress installation and click the Next button.

In the next step, you can choose from two options: Gmail and custom email provider. If
you select Gmail, you should enter your Gmail address and password. Likewise, if you
select a custom email provider, you need to enter all your email provider’s SMTP
connection information.
Here, we will show you by selecting Gmail.
Now, enter the Gmail address and password and click the Next button.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Should you use XAMPP and WordPress for
staging?
Running WordPress in your localhost is a perfect way to experiment and try out
different things with WordPress. However, we do not recommend using it as an actual
staging site for a live website.
The reason is that it has a different hardware configuration than your live website. As a
result, it’s not sure if something that works on your XAMPP installed WordPress will also
work on your live production site. The preferred way to create a WordPress staging site
is to use a subdomain or your host’s staging service.
What are the notable benefits of installing

WordPress locally on Windows PC?
Well, there are many benefits of installing WordPress first on your computer before
moving it online. Some of them are included below:
1. Time-Saving and Flexibility

Creating a new WordPress website from scratch takes a lot of time. If you choose to set
up and design WordPress on a live server, you would spend hours online to get your
WordPress website up and running.
Thankfully, when you install WordPress locally, you only require an internet connection
when you want to push your WordPress website online. You can work smoothly without
any barrier the whole time, even when you are offline.
2. Minimizes Downtime:
It’s always risky to make drastic changes, like modifying a WordPress theme on a live
website. Sometimes, it could break your website, which negatively affects your
website’s uptime and reputation. To mitigate this issue, you need to test the changes
offline using local WordPress and only make the changes live after everything seems
alright.
3. Faster Development:
When you install WordPress locally, it allows you to test themes and plugins quickly. You
can carry out these tasks without breaking anything on your live website. This also
speeds up your website development process.
What are the main components of XAMPP?

When you run the XAMPP setup, you encounter a window that urges you to select
different installation components. Although you don’t need everything for WordPress
installation, there is no harm in knowing the purpose they serve. Here are all of the
components of XAMPP:
• Apache: Apache is an essential component of XAMPP. It is an HTTP web server that is
necessary to run the website.
• MySQL: MySQL is the database server that is necessary to create databases.
• FileZilla FTP Server: This is used to set up an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server.
• Mercury Mail Server: This server is used for setting up a mail transport system.
• Tomcat: Tomcat is a handy application server that runs Java-based web applications.
• PHP: PHP is one of the essential components for installing WordPress. It is a server-
side scripting language that is used for creating dynamic web pages.
• Perl: Perl is another programming language widely used by programmers for writing
CGI scripts.
• PhpMyAdmin: This is a crucial component that handles the administration of MySQL.
• Webalizer: Webalizer is a log file analyzer that generates statistical reports about how
many people visit the website and what they look for.
• Fake Sendmail: It is used to test email transfer in the localhost. Fake Sendmail
becomes important if you are working on a project that involves sending emails.
Among these components, you should choose Apache, MySQL, PHP, and phpMyAdmin
for a WordPress installation.
Why do you require a local WordPress site?

A locally-hosted WordPress site is only accessible by people on your network. As a
result, this type of site can serve as a safe environment in which you can easily test new
features and troubleshooting methods. Local WordPress websites are best for:
• Creating new themes and plugins
• Staging website
• Website debugging and troubleshooting
Why should you create a WordPress testing site?

Creating a local WordPress site for developers and site owners is a common practice. It
provides you the ability to test WordPress without having to create a live website on the
internet. You have sole access to your local websites on your personal computer. This
offers you plenty of options to experiment with, such as different themes, plugins, test
WordPress features, and learn all WordPress basics.
If you already run a WordPress site, you can create a local copy of your WordPress site
directly on your computer. This lets you test new updates before you decide to
implement them on your live website.
The main reason to create a WordPress testing website is to root out compatibility
issues between your tools, themes, plugins, and WordPress core before adding them to
your live site. By creating a copy of your website, you can easily host it locally on your
PC, do test runs on it, and migrate it back whenever you want.
Our Say
It’s a useful practice to install XAMPP and WordPress locally on your computer. With
XAMPP, you can easily develop and test your WordPress website rather than doing it the
hard way on a live site.
Once you know how to install XAMPP and WordPress locally on Windows PC, you can
test various features, try out different themes and plugins, and experiment with many
other aspects before making your website live. Also, you can Install WordPress Locally
Using Wamp and try various features.
