Hi Friends
I'm a newbie in the field of PHP and MySQL. I can able to run my php webpages properly with simple databases. That means my PHP and MySQL are running correctly.
My Problem:
I want to install drupal in my system and study it before uploading to internet. I don't know how to do it properly. That is i don't know how to configure settings.php in drupal\sites\default.
My local settings are these . . .
c:\webroot is my WEBROOT directory (the contents of this directory is used when i type http://localhost in IE 6.0)
I extracted DRUPAL in c:\webroot\drupal.
I created drupal database successfully using database.mysql
MySQL is installed in c:\mysql (Username: root Password:pass Database:drupal)
PHP in c:\PHP
Now I want to configure settings.php using the above settings ...
(I configured like this ....)
"
* Database URL format:
* $db_url = 'mysql://username:password@localhost/database';
* $db_url = 'pgsql://username:password@localhost/database';
*/
$db_url = 'mysql://root:pass@localhost/drupal';
$db_prefix = 'http://localhost/drupal';
/**
* Base URL:
*
* The URL of your website's main page. It is not allowed to have
* a trailing slash; Drupal will add it for you.
*/
$base_url = 'http://localhost/drupal';
"
I configured like this ... (I'm sure its not correct) and I'm getting an error msg :( when i click "index.php".
