I’ve ever use pmachine long time ago and I like it very much. Today pmachine replaced by expression engine as they offer more dynamic feature but still in simple user GUI for end user.
This time I’ll show how to install expression engine in localhost with help of Wampserver.
Fake Domain I’ll use is : dariawal.com
Friendly URL for search engine needed too.
Enough, I’ll continue the tutorial in the form by step by step :
Domain Setup
For domain setup I use the same way as I set fake domain for cms based wordpress and cms based drupal.
Open HostExpert and add new domain.
Click “Add Line” and you’re done.
Setting VirtualHost
Open file C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.11\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf
and add these lines :
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot “C:/wamp/www/EECore1.6.8”
ServerName dariawal.com<Directory “C:/wamp/www/EECore1.6.8/”>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory></VirtualHost>
Save file.
(EECore1.6.8 is folder name of expression after extracted).
