Hi Edward,

I’ve never used WAMP, but since Joomla is PHP and MySQL, and if you have successfully similar things on WAMP (eg Wordpress) then I can’t see any reason why it won’t work.

Intuitively, it should work just fine as the whole point of packages like WAMP and XAMPP is to be able to run these sorts of things on your own computer.

Hope that helps.

Can I transfer files from my local Joomla database to live site database? Can I develop locally and upload to my live site? or do I have to re-create everything on live site?

I installed xammp and joomla but forgot the URL when I reached the final screen on joomla setup which asked to delete the file the installation file. I had renamed it! :) Long story short I deleted it and uninstalled xammp now upon reinstalling it I cannot get Apache/MySQL to run. Any ideas?

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I found this tutorial after being dumbfounded by Joomla for Dummies. Thanks for helping me feel like less of a dummy.
