I don't know that I know what you mean by workstation. It could mean several things. But I would think that the easiest way to do it would be to run XAMPP.http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html...
This will enable you to run Concrete5 locally, then you would just need to make sure the DNS is set up appropriately. If I come across some instructions I will let you know, but hopefully this will help get you started.

Workstation Specs:
X550 @ 2.67 GHz
XP Pro x64
8 GB Ram

I can call for 24 hour admin rights if I need them.
Apache installed without them.

You will need to install MySql and PHP5 if you have not already and you do not want to use XAMPP. Here is a good tutorial on setting up the environment and creating the DB.

After you have set up the environment, you need to create your Database, Password, etc. You should now be pretty well set. Download C5 and place it into your host directory. Run the install, and use localhost for your DB Server. Let me know if that helps.

Installed XAMPP.
Apache and MySql is running.
I can see my "old" index.html webpage !

Where should I install concrete5 ?

I need to learn more regarding MySql.

Thanks for all your help so far ...

ughly-

See the below link, it is for WAMP, but setup / installation should be very similar and get you going in the right direction.

That's awesome. That link is exactly what was needed.

You will want to copy it to the root directory which is where your index.html should be. If you copy the C5 directory to the same location as you index.html file your url will look something like this. localhost/c5 Really it is up to you though. You can also put the C5 contents in the root and make your C5 url just be localhost/ or however you have it set up.

Use phpmyadmin to create your DB. You will need to make sure to reset the passwords so you are not using root/root. You can use phpmyadmin for that too, though you might have to change a couple settings.http://www.apachefriends.org/en/faq-xampp-windows.html#password2...
