Here is my problem. I downloaded and extracted wordpress to a folder e:/webdesign/worpress and php files are run from  e:/program files/easyPHP/www

Now my php runs from another folder where wordpress isnt located. I need to change the setting in php so that it picks up php files from the wordpress dir, and how do I do this?
I dont want to change the dir of where wordpress is.

I have created a wordpress DB already.

it isnt php.ini but httpd.config and there i a setting? How do i do this?

oo ,.,...

You should have specified it that you wantto install wordpress locally...

See this video...

This will direct you how to install wordpress on your computer...

My issue is that how do I change the php settings to run php from a dir of my choice. I just need what setting to change excactly from what file eh htppd conf or php.ini?

I have already installed everything but to run php files other that default dir

Please specify using examples....

I think this is something to do with the environment variables...

Hi,

I think we are going around in circles here with these small replies on more information.

Forget wordpress for the minute and how do I run php files form another directory other than the default directory of php.

I NEED to know how I run php files from  folder e:/webdesign/myfolder . Currently easyPHP set this folder to run php files from e:/program files/easyPHP/www

I have done this before but forget the settings to change.
I dont know what settings, or path, or  environment variable to change here and how to change it.

Try this..

Open your php.ini

search for include_paths...

under that heading add...

include_path = ".;e:/webdesign/worpress"

Select allOpen in new window

This is confusing. Where and how do i add this include? Like this?

This didnt work as I cant run php from this new dir after restart of the server

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Paths and Directories ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;


; Windows: "\path1;\path2"
;include_path = ".;${path}\php\includes"
include_path = ".;e:/webdesign/worpress"

; PHP's default setting for include_path is ".;/path/to/php/pear"
; http://php.net/include-path

ok I got php working so now what with mysql files?

I create a wordpress db in msql , I copy wordpress folder to where it can pick up php files and i get this when i load index.php from wordpress.


There doesn't seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started.

Need more help? We got it.

You can create a wp-config.php file through a web interface, but this doesn't work for all server setups. The safest way is to manually create the file.

Ok I so I follow the prompts and (set up file) and enter db name , user,password which will be root and no password

ok it works

Glad it worked :)
