one of the things i've always wanted to do is run an offline version to test my templates and mods

today i have a good solution, and hope this should not break the licence terms as its an offline version for testing purposes

i came across a package call XAMPP

Description:
XAMPP is an easy to install Apache distribution containing MySQL, PHP and Perl. XAMPP is really very easy to install and to use - just download, extract and start. At the moment there are four XAMPP distributions:

XAMPP for Linux
XAMPP for Windows
XAMPP for MacOS X
XAMPP for Solaris

and the great things its free of charge

How to Install:

1) download the package and install the product
2) place you php or html files in htdocs/foldername
important:
Do not delete the following folder or files within htdocs
xampp - folder
index.php
do not place files in root of htdocs

ensure you run
Apache
MySql
FileZilla

as a service

Now for the Vbulletin offline instructions

1) create a folder for vbulletin
2) open include/config.php.new
change the following lines to matahc below

you dont need to change this

Code:

$config['Database']['dbname'] = 'forum';

for this example i have chosen forum as my vbulletin folder you can change this

Code:

$config['Misc']['forumpath'] = 'C:\xampp\htdocs\forum';

change to this

Code:

$config['Mysqli']['ini_file'] = 'C:\xampp\mysql\bin\my.ini';

Last Stage:

open your browser and type

Code:

http://127.0.0.1/xampp/

scroll down to PHPMyAdmin and create a database for the forum
to install vbulletin on your local machine for testing

Code:

http://127.0.0.1/foldername/index.php

this will redirect to the install script

after installation of forum is complete you can visit your forum by typing

Code:

http://127.0.0.1/foldername

ignore the htdocs folder as this is the root for 127.0.0.1

if this does not work please feel free to PM me for support
