I hope this clears up my initial question.

Depending on your browser, you may first have to select a save location or. If you have the above localhost/office computer setup: an SSD for programs and a common hard drive for all your data, which drive did you install Xampp/Wamp and which drive did you install Magento and the database? And more importantly, is there any tweeks to any files so that everything plays nice and talk to each other? Open the XAMPP website in your computers web browser. To clarify from my original post, I asked " How do I Install Magento and Xampp on my SSD and have my Database for Magento on my larger HDD data drive?įrom that, I thought that Xampp should always be installed on the main operating hard drive (C Drive) which in modern times is a smaller SSD (due to cost) and is used just to install the operating system and your programs since it runs a lot faster, then all data is then stored on a separate (usually a HDD) that is much larger. This means that each directory which Apache evaluates, from the drive root up. Dont worry its very easy way first of all backup all of your htdocs folder from xampp this is the folder where your files.

I would have assumed that like creating a Wordpress website, that most advanced web developers would also install Magento on their office computer (localhost) with either Xammp for example.work on their website until it is they way they want and is working correctly, then transfer all files to the permanent hosting server. Once the download has completed, go to your Downloads folder and double-click on the installer to start the installation. This document explains how to install, configure and run Apache 2.4 under. I am surprised after 3 weeks of my initial post, that the only reply for this problem is another with similar problems.
