   I am trying to do a local installation on my computer so I can mess around with themes, etc. without hoarking up my main site and am completely baffled. I have installed xampp locally and can access it. I have created a WordPress database in xampp. I have copied the required files to the htdocs folder in xampp (lite). I have changed the config-sample file to reflect the local host, database name (wordpress) and blanked the password as covered all over the web and saved the file as config. I keep getting the following when trying to install:

   Warning: require_once(./includes/upgrade.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampplite\htdocs\wordpress\wp-admin\install.php on line 10

   Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required './includes/upgrade.php' (include_path='.;C:\xampplite\php\pear\') in C:\xampplite\htdocs\wordpress\wp-admin\install.php on line 10

   Can anyone point me in the right direction? Is there another version of WordPress other than 2.5.1 that will work?

   Thank you,

   Scott

   Here are two XAMPP tutorials that might help?

   Thank you HandySolo for your suggestions. I have tried EVERYTHING and still came up empty! I have since just set up a subdomain on my hosting server and will conduct my experimenting there.

   I will revisit the local installation some time in the future.

   Thanks again,

   Scott
