Well, I decided to follow the straight-forward installation procedure 🙂
The Apache and mySql are running, created the wordpress database. Copied the WP folder and its content into the XAMPP htdocs folder, changed the wp-config-sample.php and saved the file as wp-config.php.

The path is c:/programfiles/xampp/htdocs/Wordpress but when running the
http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php command the browser states Object Not Found.

Any idea of where to look to solve this problem?

Thanks 🙂

The XAMPP is installed and the Apache and mySql is running. Instead of htdocs I’d create a c:/www folder and added

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php5 .php4 .php3 .phtml

Alias /www “c:/www”
<Directory “c:/www/”>
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

to the httpd-xampp conf file. I suppose the change from htdocs to c:/www doesn’t cause any confusions regarding the setup?

I have not created a secure login and password for the local XAMPP mySql – do I have to?
