Patience. GoDaddy has a lag time to it. Install it and wait. Mine showed up in about 15 or 20 minutes after I stopped messing with it. And yes I cleared my cache FYI .htaccess changes are the same way.

In 2.5 it’s hidden in the <?php wp_head(); ?> call

I’ve posted these before. They helped me get xampp up and running. WordPress is a breeze with xampp. I usually work out all the bugs on my system before going live.

the latest xampp seems to want to secure things more. I had to change this rule to get rewrite to work

httpd.conf file around line 247

<FilesMatch “^\.ht”>
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</FilesMatch>

Change it to allow from all… I come deny from all

These helped me get xampp up and running

I hope this helps

I’m running WordPress on my 128mb Flash drive using Xampplite from apachefriends.org with no problems. My advice, make sure you use USB 2 or it’s a bit slow.
