Bitnami is also available for Windows! Not only for mac!!
Wordpress is not only for blogging!
You can build up a powerful shop system for example!
In this video we install wordpress on a mac with bitnami, which is also available for windows. BitNami stacks are available for popular web applications such as WordPress, Drupal, Joomla!, and MediaWiki. In addition to the application itself, the stacks include the other software required to run that application. For example, a WordPress stack will include WordPress, as well as the MySQL database to manage data, Apache Web server to serve the pages, and phpMyAdmin to administer MySQL. BitNami installers are released under the Apache License 2.0
You can install other Applications Odoo (formerly OpenERP)

account tab in the navigation menu , cuz is not good looking by default…
fantastic video. Thanks for the tutorial.
Excellent nicely paced tutorial
I have a later version and finding the relevant bits to link the tutorial
was a bit tricky as it moved on but nevertheless very good.
GordoB
hi great tutorial, but im having 2 issues maybe you can help me, every time
I choose the page where the shop will be located a list of all my pages
show up belos the image of the product and there is a search window (i dont
know where that came from)
and if i go to the CART a page opens and says “NOTHING FOUND”
any advice??
thanks
Thank you so much for the tutorial. It’s very helpful to me because i am
new on setting a website. Being a fulltime mother who’s trying to earn some
extra money in the internet is so difficult. This helped me a lot. Thank
You!!!!!
Maximus here has watched to much Southpark, okej :D
Great video! Helped me a lot.
This may sound like a silly question but does the woocommerce only work in
a wootheme? Installed it on a Genesis framework theme? I have yet to
figure out how to set up variables of the same product but it is annoying
to input one bit of info only to have a different one disappear. Had
everything set up and working correctly for 4 individual products and am
now battling vanishing shipping rates, or stock, or this or that….very
frustration indeed.
The latest version is different. The pages and catalog options are
unavailable in 2.2
Planning an updated tutorial?
Cool video!
Very useful tutorial. I’m new to using WooCommerce and although I’d already
managed to figure out how to set up some test products, I was still
struggling to work out how to configure some of the many options. Now I’m
much more confident I can get my shop up and running before my opening
deadline. Thanks for making this video.
May be a stupid question, but i downloaded, installed and activated the
plugin. How come my settings page doesnt show half the tabs you have? Pages
and a couple others.
I need some help please i don’t see Under Product data were you can add
S,M,L,XL etc
i just have Product Data
Weight Unit
oz
Dimensions Unit
in
Product Ratings Product Ratings
Thankyou!
Thank you, this tutorial was very helpful!
Thanks for this tutorial. Although the interface has changed this was still
really helpfull.
Cheers
Thanks for a very informative video. It helped me a lot to understand
WooCommerce. Is this the only one you have published ? If so, can you
recommend some others to get into even more details ! http://www.theia.cph.dk
Hello Max
Thank you for such a great tutorial, since WooCommerce does not seem to be
in any hurry to provide us with proper documentation. 🙁
I have a quick question. How do I set up WC so that the customer chooses a
package to start, and then WC walks them through 3-4 more categories where
they can make a choice from each category before ending up on the
checkout/cart page?
Thank you very much!
Looking forward to the updated tutorial! Hoping for a near future arrival
;)
Thanks so much for tute!
Can someone please help though: As far as virtual products go, is it
possible to sell a folder of files without compressing them using winrar or
similar? So when the customer clicks the link the whole workable folder
downloads.. Any help would be appreciated thanks.
I’m trying to create a menu in wordpress. There are usually a list of pages
to chose from under the “view all” tab (such as blog, contact, about etc).
These options are not appearing under the view all tab. Any idea as to why
or how I can add a page without those options?
Thanks for the help!! I’ve set up a variable product (CD & download)
versions…The only thing I can’t find is how to set the download version
to have FREE shipping.
any idea?
Thank you!
Great Tutorial! Very helpful.
Hi, is it also possible to install more than just one instance of
WordPress? How would i do that? Thanks a lot!
how can people access your site if it in your local pc not a server?
thanks.
Thank Malte… Really helpful. Thanks a lot for helping
Thanks man !
