Thank you for the easy to follow guide. I have been trying to setup a developement site for my Wordpress blog for a couple of days, and this guide was the most useful. The only issue I ran into was after everything was in place, I kept getting
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (ouput started at /home/xxxxxxx/something.php) in /home/xxxxxxx/something.php on line xxx errors
After some digging, I found this was due to white space in some of the php files. http://www.proposedsolution.com/solutions/wordpress-warning-cannot-modify-header-information walked me through fixing it. I still don’t understand why a file I never touched worked on the web server but not on my local machine.

Thanks for the post. I’ve been reading up on how to run my WordPress install locally for development purposes, this was by far the easiest to follow. Nice tip on the virtual host, very neat!

Artem, It does not matter. History shows that Good artists copy, Great Artists steal

Hi Artem, for this I’ve never read this article from Thaya
There are hundreds of article about the same stuff, all of them copied Thaya’s?

Heh, yet another copy of Thaya’s work: http://omninoggin.com/wordpress-posts/creating-a-staging-wordpress-blog-for-testing/. Well, not really a copy but the same idea, which either shows that great minds think alike or that you like to copy his ideas :-\

Hi Jeremy,
It doesn’t matter if it’s your MySQL dump file that weights 3.9MB. Just import it using phpMyAdmin, as I believe it can handle a much bigger file

Sorry I was talking about my SQL dump file.

What do I do if my is over the maximum size limit? Mine is 3.9 MB and it only allows 2MB.
