 Several clients express a wish to run the software on their local machines while they are configuring their classified and auction software.  This can certainly be done but there are a few things you need to be aware of. Several clients express a wish to run the software on their local machines while they are configuring their classified and auction software.  This can certainly be done but there are a few things you need to be aware of.
  
-Our software runs in a Internet server based environment which is not the environment of the local computer you connect to the Internet with.  But you can emulate the Internet server based environment on your local Windows-based computer through the use of a program called WAMP (Windows Apache MySQL and PHP).  This installs Apache and MySQL on your local computer and configures PHP to run on it.  You do not essentially need WAMP to install this environment but WAMP does this easily for you on Windows boxes.  The following contains a fuller list of packages that can create this environment for you on your Windows box:+Our software runs in a Internet server based environment which is not the environment of the local computer you connect to the Internet with.  But you can emulate the Internet server based environment on your local Windows-based computer through the use of a program called WAMP (Windows Apache MySQL and PHP) or XAMP (X for "cross platform" Apache MySql and PHP).  These install Apache and MySQL on your local computer and configures PHP to run on it.  You do not essentially need WAMP/XAMP to install this environment but WAMP/XAMP does this easily for you on Windows boxes.  More on each here:
