    I have just installed wordpress and went to set it up. I am trying to set up a dummy website using wordpress to send off to the person who is actually going to put it up so I don’t have access to the domain or web hosting. What do I put in the config file to get it to set up on my pc?

    I only have a basic knowledge of this stuff so if you could explain everything that would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Let’s assume you have installed webserver, database server and PHP.

    You’ll need to create a database for WordPress install with a user who has full access privileges.

    Copy unzipped wordpress folder to the root directory of the webserver.

    Edit wp-config.php to enter databse name, username, password

    open browser and go to localhost/wordpress_directory
