What is there for Mac OS X Tiger? I dont have a windows.

PHPTriad? I used to use Xampp, ill try this but :)

what about the licencing of VB? Won't the local copy give some errors saying the domain isn't registered?

I've had to update to the latest php & mysql versions to work with vb3.6.7, but it's worth it. This is an AWSOME article... I wish I'd read it long ago, would've saved a lot of messing about with test forums' using subdirectories & another of my limited mysql's with my hosting company.

Thanks for this article - excellent learning material for we n00bz

I fixed my PHP Version but how can I fix my MySQL version to work w. this!?

Thanks,
Daisil

Does anybody know?

That is a good example how BAB is to use those type of setups.
Do it your self, install it the old school way. Then you can upgrade instantly to whatever version you like and not depend on someone to update their software.

I NEVER installed those type of system into my PC

This is a great way to learn to MOD your own board.

I installed it in about 10 min but had to use easyPHP because the Triad in the first post is to old.

I recommend doing this.

I recommend using the right way: install manually and configure yourself PHP and MySQL... if you want to learn something.
If you don't want, yes, use those premade programs.

XAMPP works fine, I used to do it the old way but now its just easier to download something like xampp. If a new version comes out just uninstall and reinstall and save the mysql db files. Simple really :p

this is great thanks .

what about if you have more than one forum is possible to run all from my PC ?
