[QUOTE="x-pert, post: 723787, member: 837"] Hey dude... You are a loser man.... Try to do something on your own man.... Atleast acknowledge the source dude.... The original poster of the stuff you post must have gone through a lot of trouble to compile them... That's not for you guys to post as your own dude.... Be a man and have a life buddy... Here ya go, the exact same article by Deaths from [url]http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-79539.html[/url] I know there is a guide like this out already, and it's created by TECK. However, his guide is outdated, and the download links are no longer valid. So, I though I'd tell you how I did it :) [B]Please do NOT distribute this guide outside of vBulletin.org! If you wish to put it on your site, contact me by PM![/B]Here are a couple of simple steps on how to run your vB on your PC: (HEY demo guy... DID YOU PM THE ORIGINAL POSTER) :lol: Installing Apache, PHP, MySQL, phpMyAdmin, etc... Download the newest version of PHPTriad ([url]http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=9325&package_id=9390)[/url]. This is a very easy to use all-in-one pack. Run the .exe, and let the installer do the job for you. Now go to C:\apache\mysql\bin\, and run winmysqladmin. If, and it probably will, it asks you for a password, enter root as password, and password as password. Goto your start menu > PHPtriad > Apache Console > Stop Apache Now go to start menu > PHPtriad > Apache Console > Start Apache Note: Do NOT select "Restart Apache". Now, Apache will pop up in a new window. Simply minimize it. Do NOT close it! Now, open up c:\apache\htdocs\phpmyadmin\config.inc.php. Find: $cfgServers[1]['password'] = ''; Between the '' tags, enter "password" WITHOUT the quotes Save & Close Now, your "webpage" is available at [url]http://localhost[/url]! Ok, nowthat we've installed and configured everything, we can start with the actuall vBulletin install! Installing your vBulletin Look at your task menu, and right click the traffic light icon. Click "Show me" Now, go to the databases tab. Right click on the "Test" database Click "Create Database". In the window which just opened, enter the exact name which you gave to your online database. (If you're installing a new vBulletin forum on your local PC, you may call it anything you want. Do remember what you call it though). Click "Create the Database" once you've entered a name. Click "OK" on the error box which just poped up. Now, press cancel, and it should bring you back to the databases tab. Now, you have 2 options. Follow these steps if you want to install a NEW vBULLETIN, if not, simply scroll down. Download a new vBulletin copy from the members area. Extract it to: c:\apache\htdocs\forum Open up c:\apache\htdocs\forum\includes\config.php. Set the the servername to "localhost" (without quotes) Set NO dbusername and NO dbuserpassword! Set the database name to the name of the database you created a couple of steps above. Now install vBulletin, and follow vBulletin's steps. Follow these steps if you want to install your online vBulletin Board on your PC. Download your vBulletin files from your FTP Download you Database from your host. Rename your database file to vbulletin.sql Go to [url]http://localhost/phpmyadmin[/url] Go to the database you created a couple of steps ago. Click the "import" tab. Find this text: "Or Location of the textfile :" (without quotes) Bellow it, there should be a "browse" button. Click it. Browse to your vbulletin.sql file, and select it Now, click the "Go" button. ONLY CLICK THIS ONCE Get yourself a cup of coffee, because this might take a while. When its done, it will most likely say "No tables found". Just ignore that. Go to [url]http://localhost/forum/admincp[/url] Log in If you can NOT log in, follow these steps. Go to [url]http://localhost/phpmyadmin[/url], and open your database. Open up the table "datastore" (BROWSE it) Open up "options" (inside the database) Find (where XXXX is your cookie domain you set when your board was online. Code: --------------- Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums. --------------- REMOVE the cookiedomain text. sothat it will look like this: Code: --------------- Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums. --------------- Go back to your database. Now browse the SETTING table. Find the "cookiedomain" field. Edit it, and empty the "value" box. Thats it! You're done! IF IT SAYS THE DATABASE IS EMPTY, JUST IGNORE THAT!
