FIRST
1: Install Reaper's MaNGOS version whatever you like. BUT make note of install
directory.
NEXT
Google and install xampp. The only steps for this that I would say are to
1: pick your installation directory
2: make note of install directory...and I mean exact location "drive:\example\example"
Next you will have 2 things to do after this installs itself.
1: Following your install directory, Google mysql, and install the newest version
to drive:\example\xampp\mysql
1a: Setting up your MySQL is easy, install it to the above specified directory and
set yourself a user name and password and remember it , you need it for
everything!!!!!
2: Following your install directory, Google apache, and install the newest version
to drive:\example\xampp\apache
3: Do the same (google PhP) and install the latest version to drive:\example\xampp\php
NOTE: This will install not only the newest version of the programs in question to
your hard drive, this will also install the control panel for the appropriate
programs and they will ensure the whole setup works.
NEXT
1: Create a folder on your desktop and name it "downloads", then follow
Bryansthl's links to...and I quote
"Next go to the following link and create an account to the the
following forum so you can access all the content.
http://www.mangosproject.org/forum/
After you create an account at the MaNGOS forum click on the link below.
http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads
download the tortieSVN and install it.Right click on the download folder on your
desktop, then click on SVN checkout. paste this link in it
http://tools.assembla.com/svn/mangosweb/trunk
It will then start pulling down the MaNGOS web."
Note that post was edited slightly.......
2: Select the "download" folder when it is done downloading (100 mb, 2 mins or less
at my connection).
3: Then paste it in your drive:\example\xampp\htdocs
4: Rename the download directory you just pasted in drive:\example\xampp\htdocs to
WEB. So now your website is located on your computer at
drive:\example\xampp\htdocs\WEB
next post next steps....lol... this is taking forever
