As I said, I don't know Wordpress.

But if you want to use a framework for building a website why don't you go with Joomla. It is a very good CMS and easy to install. The installation also creates all tables for you.

Download Joomla here: http://www.joomla.org/

Create a folder in you Xampp htdocs folder. Then extract the Joomla files in there. Let's say you called the folder '..\xampp\htdocs\mysite', than after copying the Joomla files in there go to your browser and point to
http://localhost/mysite

The Joomla installation routine will start automatically. There is also a lot of Joomla documentation available.

you are now my hero.

I did as you said above. EUREKA

I know my questions may seem rudimentary to someone with experience. But I could not understand how to install wordpress by editing the config php files.
(it just wouldn't work)
I did manage to install xampp and create my database but got stuck with wordpress. I have noticed the language used with these programs mimics that which I am dealing with as I learn the linux command line. I will try to keep this is mind as I forge ahead.

PS: Been playing around with joomla for about 15 minutes and I can tell I am really going to like it.
again thanks

Cheers
