Hi =)
Firstly I have no experience in coding at all, besides some basic html and I know nothing about webhosting besides how to set up a premade blog with nicely made userinterface. So my question could be quite simple to solve, but I just can't find out, what the hell I'm doing wrong.
I tried to install "LTW", which is a program to learn a language with texts. It's kind like lingQ, but free.
I did this:
Step 1: Go to [www.easyphp.org].
Step 2: Download the "EasyPHP DevServer for Windows XP to Windows 8" (currently EasyPHP 14.1 VC9).
Step 3: Open your Downloads folder and run the downloaded EasyPHP-DevServer-14.1VC9-install.exe into C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-... .
Step 4: Go to [sourceforge.net] and download the latest zip archive lwt_v_x_y.zip.
Step 5: Copy the downloaded zip archive lwt_v_x_y.zip into the directory data\localweb below the EasyPHP installation directory, i.e. C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-...\data\localweb.
Step 6: Now right-click on the zip archive and select "Extract all", and unzip everything into a new folder C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-...\data\localweb\lwt_v_x_y. Rename the folder lwt_v_x_y to lwt.
Step 7: The zip archive C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-...\data\localweb\lwt_v_x_y.zip may be deleted.
Step 8: Now go into C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-...\data\localweb\lwt. Rename the file connect_easyphp.inc.php to connect.inc.php. (Sometimes the "php" extension is hidden, so be careful! You can display file extensions via the Windows Explorer settings and check it.)
Step 9: Start EasyPHP via the Windows Start Menu. In the Task Bar near the clock appears the EasyPHP app icon (it may be hidden!).
Step 10: LWT can now be started. Right-Click on the EasyPHP icon in the taskbar, choose "Local Web", and click on "lwt" in the webpage. You may also bookmark the LWT home page: [127.0.0.1].
Step 11: You may now install the LWT demo database, or define the first language you want to learn.
If you want to use LWT again, just do step 9 and 10. Via "EasyPHP icon - Configuration - EasyPHP" you may start EasyPHP automatically when starting Windows. Now step 9 is no longer needed.
The local webserver will be stopped by clicking on "Stop" in EasyPHP menu (see icon near the clock). You can now exit EasyPHP.
I was happy like a unicorn jumping over a rainbow when it worked and I worked with my first text, but today, when I wanted to learn with it again, the local server can't be opened. What should I do?
I already tried to open it as an administrator...
Best,
