Without my 360 around, I’ve been trying to be productive with the website.
Yesteday I setup a local version of the website using an Apache server with PHP installed. I then pointed the base “home” directory of Apache to my local copy of my Website from Source Control. Therefore when I edit the website in Source Control, I only have to go to localhost and test it before uploading it live.
I did however encounter one problem with PHP and MySQL: “Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress. ”
After some Googling, I found out that the simplest solution is to copy the “libmysql.dll” file from your PHP installation folder to Windows/System32. That instantly resolved my problem (after restarting the Apache server). Make sure you also have the MySQL module installed for PHP (see a setup guide for details).
I figured I’d jot this down incase anyone else has a similar problem out there, or if I come across it again.
