I need some help on installing Geeklog on one of my local machines for experimenting and checking out geeklog. Here is what I have: Ubuntu Linux 7.10 Desktop with apache2, php5, mysql installed with public directory tree at TREE /var/www Joomla wordpress geeklog I access the first two in my browser with http://localhost/wordpress or http://localhost/joomla I would like to be able to do the same with geeklog so I can experiment,play with it and test plugins and templates until I get it the way I want, and make any changes before I install it on my remote website. I have not installed Geeklog on my local machine yet. Any advise or help would be appreciated. I am not sure if there is anything special that I have to do. TIA Mel :helpme:

The only thing to keep in mind is the bit about the public_html directory.

You can install Geeklog in a subdirectory or subdomain on your existing website. Sometimes it is better to test things under the same conditions and not on the home pc.

I have already done that, But I want to be able to test it on my home network. My computers all run linux except for one windows computer. I keep different programs on different computers for different things, But like to be able to access them from one central machine to do my work without having to install anything on my production computer. hence my SOHO (Home Network).
