How to install
on wamp server
magento ?
localhost/localcomputer

2.
Installing Magento on WAMP can be pretty painful
for beginners, as magento requires a lot of server
configurations which are not set by default.
*For those who are wondering, Why a server ? Well, for running a website you have to host the site in any server
so that people in the internet can find it. In this case you will be turning your computer into a server and will host
your website in it, so that you can see how your website behaves. But in this case your website will open only
from the server i.e. your local computer.

Now that you have the server all set, you can start the
process of installing Magento.Extract the downloaded
Magento file. Inside the extracted file you will see a
folder named “magento”. You have to copy this folder
in the root directory of your WAMP server. To get to
the root directory, click on green WAMP icon and click
“www directory”, your server root directory will open
up.
Installing magento
Copy the “magento” folder in
this directory.
So now you have the magento
files ready for installation. But
before you start installation,
you have to create database
for your site.

In your WAMP server Dashboard click on
phpMyadmin link in Tools section.

(suppose we name it magento1) and create the new database.

Configuration
For error-free installation you have to change some
settings of your WAMP server.

PHP -> PHP extensions -> php_curl
(at the top of the list) and click on it
to make it active. Click on WAMP
icon and Restart all services

(towards the bottom of the list).
Click on WAMP icon and Restart all services.
Modify php.ini file
Click on WAMP icon -> PHP -> php.ini

13.
This will open up your php.ini file in a text editor. Search for “
max_execution_time “ in the file and you will find something like
max_execution_time = 30 , change 30 to some arbitrary large value such
as 1500. This change means we are changing the Maximum execution
time of our server from 30 seconds to 1500 seconds.
Similarly search for “ max_input_time ” and you will find
“max_input_time = 60 ”, change 60 to 1500. Save the php.ini file.

14.

Click on WAMP icon and Restart all
services. Wait till the icon turns green.
Open your WAMP dashboard and click

here, you can change settings from backend later.

Next the Configuration settings page appears. You have to give the Host
name which will be “localhost” in this case. The Database name would
be the one that we created earlier.
Refer to next slide
User Name should be the Database user name. If you haven’t changed
anything then it should be “root” and the password section would be
blank.
Refer to next slide

17.
Configuration settings page

18.
Keep others as it is and click on continue. This step will take some time
as Magento will be creating the Database Tables.

and remember the Username and Password, it will be required to
access the Admin section. You can leave the Encryption Key section
Blank. Click on continue.
That’s it. You are done and have set up your first Magento Webstore.
