Hi all,
I need, for some reasons, to create a suitable local server for playing with Drupal 8 on a Windows XP SP3 pc.
I've already done it for Drupal 7 with no problems, but the requirements for Drupal 8 (Apache 2.x, MySQL 5.5.3, PHP 5.5.9 or higher, ...) are a nightmare and I'm not an expert.
So far I've tried many AMP stack (MAMP, AMPPS, XAMPP, DAMP, ...) but there is no way: all the XP compatible versions are useless for D8.
Any suggestion?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I am getting the following error after installing:

PDOException: SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'familyt9_member.blocked_ips' doesn't exist: SELECT 1 FROM {blocked_ips} WHERE ip = :ip; Array ( [:ip] => 108.26.124.25 ) in drupal_is_denied() (line 1921 of /home1/familyt9/public_html/drupal/includes/bootstrap.inc).

So, running Ubuntu with Mate GUI, have LAMP set up, seems to work fine, phpmyadmin works fine. localhost/ and localhost/phpmyadmin both can be found. Installed LAMP in command line.. I have installed drupal manually(command line, extracted archive) and with drush and neither could be found in chrome or mozilla. I have tried 7.x.x and 8.0.2 both. I tried using synaptic package mangement and copying its installation, that didn't help either. I've tried giving permission 777 (as well as just chmod ua+wr) to drupal directory and everything above it...that didn't help.

Hi,
Trying to install Drupal 8.0.2 on a new computer (1st experience with drupal) which has the very latest xampp installed. (not sure if I should be trying 8.0.2 yet but here goes (on W10 installation)).

All works fine until it hits the following error:
"Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\xampp\htdocs\drupal\core\lib\Drupal\Core\Database\Statement.php on line 64"
This happens on the 3rd or 4th action (2 to go if I recall correctly).

I have installed Drupal 8 on a testbed Web site so I had a version to play with as I familiarize myself with it.
I am being notified that there is a security update for it.
I logged into the site and looked at the security update. I was expecting to push a button and the updates would be installed.
The update notice said it was a manual update and that automatic updates aren't supported at this time.
It was my understanding that Drupal 8 being able to automatically update rather than have to FTP into the site and upload it was one of the key improvements.
