hi hope some1 can help me out?
i've just started building a vbulletin website with a few mods and so on. what i would like to do is be able to test the site on my home pc so i dont have to keep uplaoding the site my my webspace, to check that it all works.
can any1 put me in the right direction so i can test quicker to see if ihave made any errors rather then keep uploading.

I have xampp, it is really nice and easy, nothing to install in the reg files, just a directory called xampp,
And there is a myPHPadmin (or something) for the sql database; and you have a control panel to work with.
