So, if you're not familiar XAMPP is an all-in-one solution running on multiple platforms (X), Apache, MySql, Perl and PHP (and Tomcat). I've used this well for PHP development before back around 2006.
However when I went to use this to host a local Wordpress instance for development purposes I kept getting an invalid database connection message. After hours of struggle and frustration, wikihow had a great article with a step by step tutorial on this. It turned out my DB encoding was wrong (thanks regular tutorial and error messages for being so obtuse!).
