In order to keep the instructions in this book as simple as possible, it is assumed that your website is located at http://localhost/.
If you are following along on a hosted website, your site will be located at an address such as http://www.yourdomain.com/.
Wherever you see http://localhost/
, substitute your actual website name.
In this chapter, it is also assumed that you are using WampServer, and therefore your website files are located in C:\wamp\www\.
If you are using MAMP for Mac OS X, then the equivalent location might be /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/.
If you are using XAMPP, the directory might be C:\xampp\htdocs.
If you are using virtual hosts (such as VirtualHostX for Mac OS X) to allow more than one development website at a time, then the location of the files for the website will depend on the directory defined as the document root for that domain.
