Here are the guide to set up magento ecommerce website in with your hosting account…
What is Magento?
STEP 1
According to Magento Website it is quoted:
“Magento is a feature-rich, professional open-source eCommerce solution that offers merchants complete flexibility and control over the look, content, and functionality of their online store. Magento’s intuitive administration interface contains powerful marketing, merchandising and content management tools to give merchants the power to create sites that are tailored to their unique business needs. Completely scalable and backed by an extensive support network, Magento offers companies the ultimate eCommerce solution.”
STEP 2 – Magento Download
Download Magento is important. Visit http://www.magentocommerce.com/download and select your preferred Magento format. You can opt for a smaller “Downloader” version which will get the files during the installation process and a “Full Release” which already contains all files. Sample data is useful as well since they are helpful for getting used to Magento.
Step 3 – Downloading XAMPP Lite
XAMPP Lite is a Take-Run-Delete-Forget-it package which does not require an installation. XAMPP Lite consists of Apache, MySQL 5.1, PHP 5.2, phpMyAdmin 3.1 etc. It is an extra small edition of its big brother
XAMPP. It brings (almost) everything we need for Magento. You can neither use zip file or the selfextrackting zip archive: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html#646
Once download is completed, extract XAMPP Lite to your HD like so X:/xampplite (where X is the letter of your partition).
