Just found a quicker way to do this
WebWeaver64 - March 4, 2007 - 18:25

All of this is using the Web Developer Server Suite http://www.devside.net/ using their database password and installed to c://www/

1. Database: phpMyAdmin > Create a database for each local site you want to create.
2. Drupal: sites/default > Paste a copy of this folder for each site you want to create > edit the settings.php for each site.
3. Apache: Add a virtual host for each site in Apache22/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

Access from network

For security reasons I change all Allow from all's to
Allow from 127.0.0.1 when installing the xampp server.
I believe this keeps all my files accessible only from a local computer.

xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf
Add the line
Listen 192.168.0.1:80
where the ip is the ip of the xampp machine

xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf
Add the line
NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.1:80
where the ip is the ip of the xampp machine

Change the line Allow from 127.0.0.1 to
Allow from 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.2
where the ip is the ip of the networked computer

Here are some images as I customize the Thesis theme, so you can see what can happen easily with out a bunch of php, html, or css coding.

After about an hour of playing

I've just purchased a developer's copy of the Thesis theme for wordpress, as a client had a need for it, and was ready to customize her site. Thought I'd go ahead and offer it out to any of my clients on sale until March 15th.

Order your installation prior to March 15th, and save!

Convert standard site to WordPress including the Thesis Theme, one year of hosting, transfer of 3 pages of current content, and 2 hours of customization

Hard to believe it's the 1st of December. It seems like this year has really flown by. I was hoping to be in a house by now, but looks like it will be a few months at least. Thought I'd share where I'm going with my sites. I host a few WordPress sites, and now that I have uNeedStuff running on Drupal I need to set up another site on WordPress. Well I guess I don't really need to now that I have a local server running. I just like to be able to work on some problems outside of a clients system. Here's what my plans are for December:
