Super basic noob question here.
What would be the file to open up on google chrome if I want to preview the wordpress site I'm building locally? The default.html is completely blank, and I'm not seeing an index.html or anything I can open
EDIT: What would be the php file to open/edit if I want to adjust the home page of the site?
You would have to first install a local web server. If you're on a Windows machine, something like WAMP or XAMPP will fit your needs to install Apache. From there, you'll install Wordpress by moving the wordpress files into the web directory (usually it's www or public_html) and then you'll be able to view the site.
You need a local server to run wordpress or any php framework. I would recommend installing WAMP and upload your wordpress folder there, it should work
You need a local server to run WordPress. You can use XAMPP that will fit both windows and Linux. Move your WordPress folder into installed xampp folder, like: c:/xampp/htdocs/'WordPress'.
Then open your browser and type localhost/wordpress and install WordPress.
If you want to write new .php files then you have to write that inside a theme as a template.

I use:
Bitnami Wampstack 7.3.17-1
Wordpress 5.4
What I want to do is installing Wordpress manually onto Bitnami on my local PC. I am familiar with XAMPP and WAMPP, so I though what I need to do after unzip the wordpress file is only to put it on htdocs folder. But I couldn't found it on Bitnami, what I can see is apps folder.
Then, because when I tried to access phpMyAdmin I only need to go to: 127.0.0.1/phpMyAdmin/, I thought it will also work for the wordpress. But turns out it's not.
I don't want to use Bitnami-wordpress installer like bitnami-wordpress-5.4.1-0-windows-x64-installer.exe. Because in the future I want to do it for other php-based website I made.
Anyone know how to do it?
Hi Bitnami Engineer here, you can follow these steps to deploy a PHP application on top of WAMP:
Copy the installdir/docs/demo folder into the installdir/apps directory.
Add the following line to the end of the installdir/apache2/conf/bitnami/bitnami-apps-prefix.conf file:
Replace the installdir placeholder with the full installation directory for your Bitnami stack.
Include "installdir/apps/demo/conf/httpd-prefix.conf"
Restart the Apache server using the graphical manager tool.
You should now be able to access the demo application at http://localhost/demo. - You should see a “Hello world” message in your browser.
You can now replace the files inside the installdir/apps/demo/htdocs folder with the WordPress' ones to deploy that application.
You can learn more about this here

I have a website (built using wordpress) running in host server. I am trying to run my site in local machine. I install xampp, copy of my sites files, and export/import my database to local apache server.
However, when I am trying to open http://localhost/inj/public (/inj/public contains all wordpress files and folders), the url changes to "http://localhost/inj/public/login/?msg=membershipRequired" and the page shows "Object not found!".
I have changed my site and home url from wp-options table. But the problem is still there.
Any help?
Maybe you are using WooCommerce and have a restriction accidentally added? Have found something about it here: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-memberships-settings/
We have a domain hosted in godaddy. The web-site works fine without any issues.
Now we would like to use wordpress and wordpress themes and plugin to build the web-site
How do install or deploy wordpress in godaddy?
Thanks.
In godaddy, there is an option for one click install wordpress.
Or
If you want to install wordpress manually follow the below steps :
Download and unzip the WordPress package if you haven't already.
Create a database for WordPress on your web server, as well as a MySQL (or MariaDB) user who has all privileges for accessing and modifying it.
(Optional) Find and rename wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php, then edit the file (see Editing wp-config.php) and add your database information.
Upload the WordPress files to the desired location on your web server:
Run the WordPress installation script by accessing the URL in a web browser. This should be the URL where you uploaded the WordPress files.

My question is: Does WordPress store websites locally in organised hierarchical folders, and is it possible to copy this folder and paste it somewhere else, so I can open the website locally by clicking an index.html file?
WordPress does not store static HTML-files on the server. It uses PHP template files which get the page contents from the wordpress database dynamically.
If you would just like to have an offline version of your site for development or presentation you can install a local WordPress using a tool like XAMPP.
I downloaded a website and its respective database from Microsoft Azure using FTP with Filezilla and I want to serve it locally. I already set the environment:
MySQL
Apache
PHP
phpMyAdmin
Wordpress
What is the next step to deploy the website? Should I copy the website folder in htdocs directory?
Finally I used the plugin Duplicator of Wordpress. This plugin allows me to create a full copy of a remote Wordpress site and an installer file. Once you generate these files you just have to copy them in the web server directory (or in a subdirectory like "MyWebsite") and execute the installer with your web browser going to:
http://localhost:port/MyWebsite/installer.php
I hope this is useful to someone. Cheers!
