How do I setup my site on my computer?

[urmyworld]

Hello,

I have installed EASY PHP on to my computer along with creating my website by using the Client Software in the www location of Easyphp.

When I "view" my site within my "local web" it does not look the same as my "live" website.

Can anyone explain to me where I am going wrong?

best regards

David

You're probably not doing anything wrong. It's very likely that your local set up is different to your "live" set up.

Easy PHP can be setup in a few different environment , make sure it's running in the closest environment to your "Live" setup.

Also, as far as I can make out, you view your www directory through Easyphp and not through a traditional browser. There are lots of different browsers, using 1 of a few different Document Object Models. Every browser (even different versions of the same) render a web page differently which makes a web developers life a bloody misery sometimes!

See if you can access the www directory in the same browser you access your live version in. If not, I would suggest using Easyphp just for playing with the background workings of your site and use the live version for style tweaks.
