are many people I would like to thank for their help and support while writing this book First of all, many thanks to Dan Milward and the team at Instinct for their hard work in developing the WordPress e-Commerce plugin, without which this book would not have been possible Also, thanks to Usha Iyer, Rakesh Shejwal, Joel Goveya, and other members of Packt Publishing for their help and support during the organization, writing, and editing processes Additional thanks go to Taeke Reijenga for his work in reviewing the book Finally, utmost thanks to my wife Katrina for her unending love, support, and patience About the Reviewers Dan Milward is a 31-year-old self-taught entrepreneur living in Wellington, New Zealand He enjoys working with WordPress and making games for mobile phones His earliest "happy" childhood memories are of playing computer games on his Commodore 64/128 If not for the relaxed attitude of his parents around computers and games, then perhaps the WP e-Commerce plugin would never have been made Dan and his team have been contributing to the WordPress ecosystem in one way or another for the best part of years, mostly through their work developing WordPress plugins, most notably the world-famous WordPress e-Commerce plugin, which has had over 500,000 downloads His company Instinct has an office in Wellington where they focus on making WordPress plugins, and investors in Tokyo where the focus is on user-generated games for mobile phones Many people around the world have contributed to the WP e-Commerce plugin but none have contributed as much as Thomas Howard and Jeffry Ghazally These guys are the real stars behind the WordPress e-Commerce plugin I'd like to thank Amber for going easy on me and allowing me to work on this book during "family time" I'd like to thank Jane Wells and Matt Mullenweg from Automattic for all the moral support that they have provided us over the years, and I'd like to thank all the parents out there who allowed their children to play on computers in the 90s Those children are today's developers and our peers in the WordPress community Thank you Taeke Reijenga is the co-founder of Level Level, a web design agency from Rotterdam, Netherlands Level Level focuses on custom WordPress design and development for businesses Amongst numerous WordPress-based projects are several e-commerce sites build with WP e-Commerce One of them offers over 100,000 products In his spare time, Taeke loves to cook and enjoy a good glass of wine You can contact Taeke via http://level-level.com Table of Contents 8 9

open the WampServer menu and browse to Apache, then Apache modules Select the rewrite_module: We're now ready to install WordPress on our test server Running a test server Our testing platform is now fully operational as a development server The only thing missing is WordPress itself, so let's add it now First, let's create a new empty database From the WampServer menu, launch phpMyAdmin Under the MySQL localhost section, type a name for your new database and click on the Create button: [ 255 ] Setting Up a WAMP Testing Platform Install WordPress To install WordPress, download the software package from www.wordpress.org The archive that you download contains a folder called wordpress Extract that folder and its contents to the www folder inside the location where you decided to install WampServer If you chose the default location, the full path will be C:\wamp\www: Next, navigate into your wordpress folder Find the file called wp-config-sample php and rename it to wp-config.php Naturally, this file contains the configuration details for properly installing WordPress You now need to open the wp-config.php file with a text editor (such as Notepad) and change a few details: • Database name—wordpress (or whatever name you entered in the previous step) • Database username—root • Database password—leave it blank • Hostname—localhost [ 256 ] Appendix B That's all! Remember that these settings are for development and testing purposes only You definitely should not open WampServer to your network, or to the Internet, without securing it further You are now ready to complete the install of WordPress In your browser, navigate to http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php and follow the short prompts, just as in any other typical WordPress installation You're finished! Summary WampServer is a fantastic and simple way to test your WordPress shop before changes are rolled to your production server It's free, open source, flexible, and easy to use By using a testing platform, we can experiment to our heart's content with both WordPress and the WP e-Commerce plugin without fear of breaking anything on the live site [ 257 ] Index Symbols B 1&1 Internet URL 195
