Magento Installation | Magento Installation Process | Magento Installation On Localserver

Step 1: Open php.ini file for apache C:/xampp/apache/bin/php.in
Find php_curl.dll and remove comment(;) From the following line

extension=php_curl.dll

Same way make changes in C:/xampp/php/php.ini file
Restart apache server from xampp control panel

Step 2: If database connection error occurs “InnoDB Engine”

Open file xampp\mysql\bin\my.cnf (Drag and Drop that file to Notepad or notepad++ program)

Find code:

	# Comment the following if you are using InnoDB tables
	skip-innodb
	#innodb_data_home_dir = "/xampplite/mysql/"
	#innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M:autoextend
	#innodb_log_group_home_dir = "/xampplite/mysql/"
	#innodb_log_arch_dir = "/xampplite/mysql/"
	## You can set .._buffer_pool_size up to 50 - 80 %
	## of RAM but beware of setting memory usage too high
	#innodb_buffer_pool_size = 16M
	#innodb_additional_mem_pool_size = 2M
	## Set .._log_file_size to 25 % of buffer pool size
	#innodb_log_file_size = 5M
	#innodb_log_buffer_size = 8M
	#innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 1
	#innodb_lock_wait_timeout = 50 

Modify to

	#Comment the following if you are using InnoDB tables
	#skip-innodb
	innodb_data_home_dir = "/xampplite/mysql/"
	innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M:autoextend
	innodb_log_group_home_dir = "/xampplite/mysql/"
	innodb_log_arch_dir = "/xampplite/mysql/"
	## You can set .._buffer_pool_size up to 50 - 80 %
	## of RAM but beware of setting memory usage too high
	innodb_buffer_pool_size = 16M
	innodb_additional_mem_pool_size = 2M
	## Set .._log_file_size to 25 % of buffer pool size
	innodb_log_file_size = 5M
	innodb_log_buffer_size = 8M
	innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 1
	innodb_lock_wait_timeout = 50
