Creating a blog site on a local computer
Hello!
I would like to create a blog website on a web domain of mine. The blog will be used for publishing economics-lated articles.
I tried to use a few open source packages for blog creation (WorldPress, b2evolution, Movable type) which I wanted to test on a local computer before arranging a hosting service.
I tried to set up first a Windows XP testing enviroment, installing Apache + PHP + MySQL + phpMyAdmin, after that I tried xampp and WampServer, but with neither of these I could start any of the blog creating packages.
The problem is setting the testing enviroment. Now I considering Ubuntu Server for a simple LAMP installation.
I hope you can give me some advise which package for blog creation I can use and how to set up a local computer test enviroment for it.
Thanks in avdance!

blosxom
BLOSXOM(7) 7 BLOSXOM(7)
NAME
blosxom - A lightweight yet feature-packed weblog
SYNOPSIS
blosxom is a simple web log (blog) CGI script written in perl.
DESCRIPTION
Blosxom (pronounced "blossom") is a lightweight yet feature-packed weblog application designed from the ground up with simplicity, usabil-
ity, and interoperability in mind.
Fundamental is its reliance upon the file system, folders and files as its content database. Blosxom's weblog entries are plain text files
like any other. Write from the comfort of your favorite text editor and hit the Save button. Create, edit, rename, and delete entries on
the command-line, via FTP, WebDAV, or anything else you might use to manipulate your files. There's no import or export; entries are noth-
ing more complex than title on the first line, body being everything thereafter.
Despite its tiny footprint, Blosxom doesn't skimp on features, sporting the majority of features one would find in any other Weblog appli-
cation.
Blosxom is simple, straightforward, minimalist Perl affording even the dabbler an opportunity for experimentation and customization. And
last, but not least, Blosxom is open source and free for the taking and altering.
USAGE
Write a weblog entry, and place it into the main data directory. Place the the title is on the first line; the body is everything after-
wards. For example, create a file named first.txt and put in it something like this.
First Blosxom Post!
I have successfully installed blosxom on this system. For more
information on blosxom, see the author's <a
href="http://www.blosxom.com/">blosxom site</a>.
Place the file in the directory under the $datadir points to. Be sure to change the default location to be somewhere accessable by the web
server that runs blosxom as a CGI program. On Debian systems, this location default to /var/lib/blosxom/data.
OPTIONS
Configuration of the blosxom can be controlled via the configuration file /etc/blosxom/blosxom.conf. Some of the possible configuration
variables are:
$blog_title
Title of this blog. (default: "Blosxom")
$blog_description

$blog_language

$datadir
