I'm trying to set up WAMP on my Win10 laptop, to set up a dev site of my wordpress. I'm getting this error during the installation:



I followed the directions where it said to install like 10 different C++ things, then uninstalled WAMP, restarted, installed again, and got the same error.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks!

Thanks again!

I want to set up git with my local wordpress development site, but my host doesn't support SSH. (In the long term we plan to switch hosts, but until then I still want to use git).

And recommendations on how to set it up? I've been using FileZilla for uploading files, and also Sublime Text's SFTP extension.

Thanks!

Use git(hub?) just for the version control, but FTP for publishing the files once version controlled. Although you might want to check out this answer on Stack Exchange

I'm going to use git locally, but is there any way to just FTP the files that have changed? Or do I have to upload the whole thing?

That was an interesting read, thanks! I am planning on switching hosts at some point, when things calm down a little (ha!)

Good luck with that :)

I looked into http://beanstalkapp.com/ a while ago, you can set it up to publish only the files that were changed in Git. I'm not positive that it works without SSH, but based on item #3 you can also FTP or SFTP, so this might be a good idea (they have a free plan too https://signup.beanstalkapp.com/?plan=Free, supposedly only for independent developers...)

I just found this and am giving it a try

We'll see how it goes!

I downloaded my site's files and database, imported the database to phpmyadmin, updated the wp-config file, but I get this error when I try to reach my (local) home page:
Quote
Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator at admin@example.com to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.


Most google results say to uncomment
Code: [Select]
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so, but it already is uncommented.

Any other advice?

What would be the easiest way if I would like to try a few new themes on my WP site, but don't want to do it on the current site, in case I'm not happy with the results?

You can download a copy to your local computer and test it there, that wouldn't be very easy if you're not set up though. Theme Test Drive seems like a plugin that can help you test themes before going live (I've never used it, but the reviews look good).

Is there a way to roll back to an earlier version of a WP website ?  I know I can get earlier versions of a specific page but I want to roll back ALL changes I made on my website over a 24 hr period.

Anyone here know a developer or someone who can help with some backside PHP work?

Or more simple, anyone here know about authorize.net website integration?
