Ok I know this has been answered a few times but as far as I can tell all answers are now outdated. Bitnami released a new installer. Instead of installing to xampphtdocs<name> it installs directly as xamppappswordpress so I can’t see a way of installing a new site.
I had stupidly renamed the folder and all instances of wordpress as a directory path to ezc only to find out that it didn’t work. Turns out 4,300 files opening all at once isn’t good for Notepad++…
For those of you aren’t aware of the new file structure, it’s as follows
xampp/
anonymous/
apache/
apps/
wordpress/
conf/
htdocs/
wp-admin/
wp-content/
wp-includes/
licenses/
tmp/
cgi-bin/
contrib/
[...]
How can I have multiple instances of WordPress hosted locally with XAMPP?
Just hopped onto the Bitnami community and found out how to create multiple sites.
Just pop the following into the command prompt (make sure you’re in the same directory as installer)
Replace the
