Hi there! The ultimate newbie here... I was able to load the index.php of drupal after successfully installing it (or so i thought)
Welcome to your new Drupal-powered website. This message will guide you through your first steps with Drupal, and will disappear once you have posted your first piece of content.
The first thing you will need to do is create the first account. This account will have full administration rights and will allow you to configure your website. Once logged in, you can visit the administration section and set up your site's configuration.
Drupal comes with various modules, each of which contains a specific piece of functionality. You should visit the module list and enable those modules which suit your website's needs.
Themes handle the presentation of your website. You can use one of the existing themes, modify them or create your own from scratch.
We suggest you look around the administration section and explore the various options Drupal offers you. For more information, you can refer to the Drupal handbooks online.
but this alert pops up whenever i try to login!
ALERT: The connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost
What's the matter? Even just clicking a link, this alert pops up as well! And do i still have to create an account here or the same username and password i created for the database are the same details i'm gonna use? HELP! =)
