Requirements:
Macintosh OS X 10.6.8
XAMPP 1.7.3
magento-1.6.0.0
magento-sample-data-1.2.0
= 01 =
Download the application and the sample data from http://www.magentocommerce.com/download
and from http://www.apachefriends.org/de/xampp.html
= 02 =
Extract magento to the folder where you store your local webprojects. This is normaly the your htdocs-Folder in the XAMPP-Folder.
Extract the sample data and copy the content of the media-Folder to the media-Folder within the magento-Folder
= 03 =
Configure your XAMPP: Even if it is possible to set up several applications in one single XAMPP
installation, I recomment to start with a fresh XAMPP installation.
(Rename your XAMPP Folder if you have an existing installation on already installed and) copy the Application data to your Application Folder.
= 04 =
Configure your httpd.conf within XAMPP:
Add the following line to the configuration file to make sure that the mod_rewrite module rewriting is enabled:
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
Then enable the vhost Extension by adding the following line
Include etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
= 05 =
Configure the vhosts:
Add the following virtual host entry to your configuration. (Replace the ***** with your personal path)
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName magento.localhost
DocumentRoot \"/******/magento\"
<Directory \"/******/magento\">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog \"logs/magento_error_log\"
CustomLog \"logs/magento_log\" common
</VirtualHost>
= 06 =
Configure a local domain under which the shop system will be accessible
(You must have root-rigths to do this)
Open the following file in an editor
/etc/hosts
and add the following line to the file
127.0.0.1 magento.localhost
= 07 =
Change the rights on the magento folder to 777 (or 775).
There is no need to make the entire Folder writeable but it\’s easier 
(http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/1_-_installation_and_configuration/magento_filesystem_permissions)
= 08 =
Use the xampp-control panel to start run the MySQL Server.
Login to the MySQL server and create a database for the Magento installation and
import the SQL-File from the example-data Folder into the created database.
= 09 =
Now there is some need to do some modifications from the Magento Forums:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/248132/
http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/234325/#t343399
http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/242270/#t342547
= =
Rename the local.xml.sample to local.xml
= =
Open the file /app/etc/config.xml in an editor and do the following modifications:
Search for the following line
SET NAMES utf8
and replace it with the following line
SET NAMES utf8; SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0; SET UNIQUE_CHECKS=0;
= =
Open the app/Mage.php and comment:
//self::throwException(’Mage registry key “‘.$key.’” already exists’);
Don’t use it on production stores!
= 10 =
Make sure that the Apache WebServer and the MySQL Server of your XAMPP installation is running.
Now open the magento installation wizard by opening http://magento.localhost in a web browser.
Follow the instructions and start the installation process. This will take a while.
There will be no status bar but u can use the Health-Window of MySQL-Administrator to see the process.
= 11 =
After finishing the installation the personal information should be updated. Visit the Front- and the Backend-Store to change the information.
You have to \"remap\" the Products (follow the instructions in the backend.)
