Now download Magento and sample data from here
Rename the downloaderd magento file to magento and keep the renamed file to htdocs of Xamp
now create a database name like ae magento (which I have used) and import sample data to the database magento.
and open an browser write the URL like as http://localhost/magento
then you will get a page like this.
Just clicking agree you need to click continue then you will get a page like this…
here you have to localalize your location.. or bydefault you can click continue.. then you will get like as.
here no need to change any thing but batabase name must be same as previous database name’magento ”(which i have used). then continue…
after that you will get a adminitration page for account of admin you have to fill up these as your choice like as.
Now magento is ready.. and login the administration pannel

If anyone can help I would really appreciate it and even later give something back.I really need Magento setup by Thursday 01/10/09 as I need to start with a project on friday.
I am new to Magento and have to familirize myself with the code but my first challenge is the installation.
Thanks in advance.

i encountered this massage when i got to the magento installation phase:
“Fatal error: Method Varien_Object::__tostring() cannot take arguments in C:\xampp\htdocs\magento\lib\Varien\Object.php on line 488″
can you help me to recover from this error?
same problem with my problem, when I can post the solution, please e-mail sent to me also ..
I am very confused ..
Awesome affair, I didn’t thought reading this was going to be so amazing when I klicked at your title!!
Dear shamim Bhai,
i usually use Xampp 1.5 version. you mention two problem, I solve
First problem after some time I go solve second problem i get not “php.ini” which is mentioned in your site then i download “php_curl.dll“this past proper location. After some time i do reinstall magento some problem “PHP Extension “curl” must be loaded”
Please give me easy way. I wait your response.
1– >Go to C:\xampp\htdocs\magento\app\code\core\Mage\Core\Model\Session\Abstract\Varien.php
2–> Comment the Line Number 78 to 84 i.e
/* session_set_cookie_params(
$this->getCookie()->getLifetime(),
$this->getCookie()->getPath(),
$this->getCookie()->getDomain(),
$this->getCookie()->isSecure(),
$this->getCookie()->getHttponly()
);*/
Save Now .
Note Magento-1.3.2.4 doesnot support php 5.3.1 or php5.3.0
So if u use XAMPP 1.7.3 or XAMPP 1.7.2 Magento will not installed and it will show
“Fatal error: Method Varien_Object::__tostring() cannot take arguments in C:\xampp\htdocs\magento\lib\Varien\Object.php on line 488″
You should Installed XAMPP for Windows Version 1.7.1
Then Installed Magento ..
After Installed follow this

Thank you,
I figured out how to install Magento locally onto my computer running Windows XP. Here is a step by step guide on how to install Magento with no errors! http://www.jvfconsulting.com/blog/117/How_To_Install_Magento_Locally_On_Windows_XP.html
I was able to resolve the “getting stuck at” configuration setup part by manually creating the DB name in the PhPmyAdmin.
Now, my problem is logging into the backend part of Magento. Why won’t it let me log in? It just keeps reloading the same admin page.
i’m using Xampp 1.7, Magento latest ver and Apache.
Thanks!
use URL http://127.0.0.1/magento then ok your problem will be solved.
“use URL http://127.0.0.1/magento then ok your problem will be solved.”
Not solved for me… when I put in my admin password and click “login” It just refreshes the page and goes nowhere whether I use the url http://localhost/magento or http://127.0.0.1/magento
Not sure what the problem is.
Problem solved! You need to delete the cache and session folder located at /magento/var forlder
boss already i am working on magento project online
with the help of svn. Again i am not able to run the magento? Is it possible to run magento again?
please tell me the pros and cons
Thx!! That helps!!
Greetings Katja
Hi John, You have to use some other web browser. If you are using mozilla then try it on opera or google chrome. It will surely work…
I’m using the latest version of magento. I can’t login in the admin panel. When I use the http://127.0.0.1/magento/admin it will be redirected to http://localhost/magento/.
Please Help! thanks.
I’m using the latest version of magento. I can’t login admin part at first time, off the code and try login…

Hi,
I tried to install magento 1.5 under xampp windows 1.7.3 on local machine (OS – windows 7). I’m stuck in configuration page. I already read through above mentioned problem solving ways but I cannot overcome this page
It says “You need MySQL 4.1.20 (or greater)”. I think MySQL version 5.1.x is used in xampp windows 1.7.3. Isn’t it ?
How should I try this problem ? Pls help me
Thanks shamim vi, i have just started my journey with magento, your tutorial makes me easy to handle the primary stage.
Quite good post. I just stumbled upon your weblog and wanted to say that Ive truly enjoyed surfing about your weblog posts. Soon after all I is going to be subscribing to your feed and I hope you write once again quite soon! 60259
I still get the error:
PHP extension “curl” must be loaded.
remove the comment before the “curl” extension in php.ini and restart the server. then it will be solved
