Thanks for this tutorial! Thumbs up for putting this together!

Does anyone have something on exporting the ready site to online hosting service?

@Steve: Yup. Win 7 64-bit can give you headaches. I even recommend using the ZIP release for the latest XAMPP rather than the installer version.

Thanks for a great tutorial. I had a few glitches that seemed to be because Win7 kept trying to “protect me.” Running firefox under Windows 7 64 bit and I got the dreaded “phpmyadmim cannot start session with out errors” message. Clearing my browsing history and cache fixed the problem. Also, in order to dive deeper into xammp and php, I could not find php.ini until I went into windows explorer | Organize | Folder and Search Options | View and then checked show hidden files (and, for good measure I unchecked hide extensions for known file types). YMMV.

Thanks for the great instruction.

I ran into the ‘Object not found’ error preventing the WP installaion. Through google I found this to be rather common. After some intensive rechecking it turned out my problem was landing the WP installation into C:\xampp\SECURITY\htdocs\ instead of C:\xampp\htdocs\. Readlly stupid mistake, but probably easy to make and overlook afterwards, so I post it.

Thanks again, once I got the directory right, it was a truly enjoyable installation process.

Sorry I do not understand! Do you mean the permissions thing, because that is the only drawback I have found when using lamp.
