So in this article we are going to discuss how Magento can successfully be installed into your local WAMP Server.

Download WAMP Server: -   For downloading WAMP server you need to go to the URL http://www.wampserver.com. You can download the latest version of WAMP 2.0i along with installation details from this URL. After download you will receive a Set Up file. Just install and start the WAMP server.


Download Magento CE: - For downloading Magento CE you need to go to the URL http://www.magentocommerce.com. From download section download Magento CE 1.4.0.1 in zip format. Extract the zip folder and copy the folder called “magento” to ‘WAMP installation path\WWW’ folder.

Create Database for Magento: - To install Magento on your local machine you need to create one database. So just go to ‘PHPMyAdmin ‘and create a database e.g. ‘magentotest’.


Start installing Magento: – Now start WAMP localhost in your machine. In the ‘Projects’ section, you will see a folder called ‘magento’, just click on this project.’ Magento Installation Wizard’ will start. In the next step click on the ‘Continue’ button and enter localization settings. In the next phase enter proper configuration settings and click on ‘Continue’ button.

Appearance of Error: - At this point of time an error will appear ‘Maximum time of 30 seconds exceeded in ‘Installation path of WAMP/WWW/magento/lib/ZendDB/Statement/Pdo.php’


How to fix this error?
Well, this error can easily be fixed;  Here we are providing the solution to fix this error within short time. 

Steps to fix this error:
  1. Open WAMP Server menu->go to PHP-> select php.ini file
  2. The file will be opened in a notepad.
  3. Find the code ‘max_execution_time’. By default the value set is ‘60’. Change it with a higher value ‘1800’.
  4. Find the code ‘max_input_time’. By default the value set is ‘30’. Again change it to ‘1800’.
  5. Save php.ini file.

See the result after fixing the error: - Now you are all set to see the result of what you have done. So start viewing it like this:

  5. Enter localization settings.
  6. Enter configuration settings. Click on the ‘Continue’ button.
  7. Now you will get the Admin setup section of Magento rather than the previous error.
  8. Setup and save Magento Admin settings.
  9. Get the Magento user panel on the URL http://localhost/magento/index.php and get the admin panel of Magento on the URL http://localhost/magento/index.php/admin.
How to install Magento without url validation error:

If you have ever tried to set-up a localhost install of the Magento e-Commerce system for development purposes using WAMP, XAMPP you may have already run into the problem of URL / Domain validation halting the install process due to using localhost as the domain. This tutorial will explain how to successfully install Magento on you PC hosted localhost server.
The image above shows the error you will receive when trying to install Magento on a PC running WAMP, XAMPP etc. The error happens because Magento tries to validate the domain name under which you install the Magento system, when you use http://localhost as your domain Magento halts the install process completely. This can be a really annoying fact that stops a lot of people installing Magento on their home PC to evaluate it before committing to the system for there e-Commerce project. The short tutorial below will show you how to bypass this particular install error and successfully install Magento on your localhost test machine.
Firstly you will need to edit a Magento file to acheive this technique, it’s pretty easy to do so anyone should be able to follow this tutorial but if your not confident editing a file get a friend who is to do it for you. To edit any files we recommend that you use PSpad which is a text editor specifically built for editing php, javascript files etc.
1) Open you Magento folder and go to the directory /js/prototype/
2) You will see a file titled validation.js, open this file in your text editor.
3) Look for the code between lines 505 to 507, it should look like the code snippet below.




['validate-url', 'Please enter a valid URL. Protocol is required (http://, https:// or ftp://)', function (v) {
            return Validation.get('IsEmpty').test(v) || /^(http|https|ftp):\/\/(([A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9_-]*)(\.[A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9_-]*)+)(:(\d+))?\/?/i.test(v)
        }],
4) now you want to comment out those three lines of code by typing // in front of each of them, the code snippet below gives an exact example of what you should end up with after the edits. These edits disable only those three lines of code which check for a valid domain name upon Magento installation.



//['validate-url', 'Please enter a valid URL. Protocol is required (http://, https:// or ftp://)', function (v) {
            //return Validation.get('IsEmpty').test(v) || /^(http|https|ftp):\/\/(([A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9_-]*)(\.[A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9_-]*)+)(:(\d+))?\/?/i.test(v)
        //}],
5) Install Magneto on your localhost, after install has completed successfully revert the validation.js file to it’s original code by removing the instances of // you added.
You should now have a fully functional install of Magento on your WAMP, XAMPP install on your home PC or business development server. If you have any questions about this technique please leave a comment.
