Hi George
Yes I have both apache and mysql running I use fireftp so I dont need fillezilla.
When I click on apache admin it launches my browser and I then have access to my phpadmin. All seem to work fine. I am using wordpress because I have no Idea how to put together a website from scratch so I thought I could use the templates provided with wordpress.
What Im trying to do is build a site locally but haven't figured out how to build my tables
(I believe they are called) If I had a templete I could use that as way to get started. I have much to learn
The documentation in wordpress assumes the user has experience with this stuff....not real good for beginners.
I would like to know how to install a template to mySQL db via my local host and then see the resulting webpage from there I think I will be able to see how all the nuts and bolts go together.
I am sorry I know I sound like a super nubie.
