    So Stephen, during the transition from the virual directory to going live, all of the permalinks were bad? Did this have anything to do with what you said in your trivia comment about changing isps for running locally and internet? Forgive my stupidity, as I am a novice to web-development. I have learned a lot from your posts and thank you for sharing all of your great knowledge.

    mine, I am using EasyPHP2.0 instead but it seems that they have stopped developing this system. I actually tried XAMMP and really find it very helpful with some of my PHP experiments.

    Xaamplite really is great for setting up a local wordpress install – I found that it is great for customizing and building wordpress themes and trying out different things. I was lucky, I didn’t have any problems with the permalinks or anything else :)

    Thanks for the information. I use Xaamplite for testing and developing wordpress locally as well. I’ve thought about setting up a virtual directory for the same reason. I’ll definitely keep this bookmarked.

    Really didn’t think you’d have a problem with the two, I do like Xaamplite, it’s very easy to use.

    Thanks for this. I run WordPress locally to test various things and stay up-to-date on the current version of WordPress. I’ve always wanted to take the time and resolve this and you’ve done it. Excellent job!!

    Instead of running WordPress locally, I use a little server that I call my “Sandbox” for prototyping and experimenting. The hardware is just an old P4 that has been retired, but it can run on most anything, even a P3 or Celeron. The software is SME from contribs.org. SME can do lots of things and is a self contained Linux distribution. Check it out.

    I just started using xammplite last week to practice creating wordpress themes. I noticed this limitation when I started with my first theme but didn’t have time to digg into how to solve it. Luckily I stumbled onto post. This will be a great help when I get around to working on multiple projects at one time.

    I’ve been meaning to get a local copy of wordpress running, but haven’t been able to yet. I find working with servers is so annoying… just give me my CSS and HTML, leave the server work to the real nerds.

    I have tried XAMMP before but got discouraged by some headaches that pops up every now and then. I have not tried XAMMPLite but I assume the headaches I’d get would be the same, hopefully ‘lite-r’ if I try it. These days, I’m using MoWeS Portable. I can attest to its bug-free headache-free performance. I installed it in my flashdrive and I can take all my work wherever I like, in whichever computer.

    Thanks for this. I made the virtual hosts with your solution in Mamp (Mac) and it works perfect. Now I can enjoy my pretty permalinks locally
