Off-line viewing of SMF Forum?

[Rust]

Hello all.  I downloaded an SMF forum I used to run and I'd like to view the content in a browser (Chrome) on a Windows 7 machine.  I've done some searching online (didn't turn up a lot) and on the forum (got a million false positives), so I figured I'd ask.

Anyone know of a way to do this?  Thanks!

If you have the database, you  can set up a wamp server locally and then install smf with the backed up database into the wamp server.

Yes, I have the database and all the related content for the forum.  I'd like to view it in a browser, more or less, as it was online, so I think I need more than wamp.  Are there any instructions on how to do that?  I am getting a ton of false positives with googling.  Thanks.

Not sure... Setting up a server, real or wamp goes well beyond the instructions we normally give...

Setting up Wamp is basically a case of downloading the installer and running it... it then creates a bunch of folders in C:\wamp\www where C:\wamp\www maps to become http://localhost/ in the browser.

After that it's just as if you were moving a site between servers (copy the files, import the DB, repair_settings.php)
