Title: How to start + local Wordpress installation
Post by: plrang on June 11, 2013, 12:33
Here is a short article on how to start with Symbiostock
+ how to set up the local Wordpress installation (on home Windows computer)
for testing, backup, or to check things before anyone will go for a hosting account.
I hope it helps!

Just read, can you plese explan this a bit more for us with absolutely no experience...

1.) It may be necessary to add / increase some options to php.ini (if you have some image processing issues)



It seems i cannot upload image that is larger than 10mb , I spent all day trying to resolve that,  im getting an error so I think the solution is in what u wrote..

The problem is i don have a clue where is that php.ini , is that when u unpack theme somewhere or accessible somewhere in sites dashboard ?



Any help is much appreciated because Im stuck

Thanks

Check out your php.info first

Use the wordpress plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sysinfo/ (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sysinfo/)
for example (After installation - Wordpress/ Tools / Sysinfo)

Examine the upload_max_filesize and post_max_size for example.

php.ini should exist in your main Wordpress folder or in the main SITE folder.
If there is no such file - just create it and edit.

I'll add this to the article

Anyone who wants to help...

Installed plugin , checked and yes those 2 parameters are set on 10mb.

Some may find it funny so I do apologize in advance, but where are, and how to access those main Wordpress folder or main SITE folder ?

If I create notepad php.ini file and change those parameters where should i paste that file ?


Thanks

1)  http // site.com/

there is the main site folder - root folder, so there is the place no. 1

2) http // site.com/wordpress-installation-folder/

In this folder you can see the "wp-config.php" and other WP files

2) http // site.com/wordpress-installation-folder/

In this folder you can see the "wp-config.php" and other WP files


I set limit to 100mb in php.ini file and paste it to both folders and its working fine now

Here is the code if someone else needs it:

upload_max_filesize = 100M
post_max_size = 100M

Just paste this in notepad save as php.ini and past the file there.



Thanks once again plrang
