Installing Drupal

delleted

I need some help configuring Netbeans 7 on the Win XP computer to work with the CentOS computer that has PHP, Adobe and MySQL already configured on it.

I have set up Netbeans as per Drupal Development on Ubuntu with Virtualbox. Part 5: Introduction to Netbeans IDE, step 2. I need to make Netbeans place project files on the Linux system, and use development files on that system as well.

My apologies if I'm in the wrong forum, I'm new to this.

I installed Acquia Dev Desktop and then imported the drupal-7.9 core and even created the 2trees olive oil website without any problems using my laptop running Windows 7.
When I tried to repeat the above process on my Desktop, again running Windows 7, I ran into problems.

The Acquia Dev Desktop installed perfectly, when I tried to import the drupal-7.9 core the following error message appears;

'Host file doesn't exist or is not writable, C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts'

Hi Admin,

I am stuck in configuring the SMTP. I would like to use the exclusive SMTP account with my site. Can you plz guide me or give me any helpful information on this.

Thanks a lot,

I tried to install drupal but when i get to the Install profile it seems to skip this or an error occured. I think the error could be the settings.php file - Im supposed to type in the following

$db_url = ‘mysql://root:admin@localhost.drupal’;. Is the code typed in at the opening of the file and is the code below typed at the closing of the file could you please direct me.

Then scroll down and enter $base_url = ‘http://localhost/drupal’;.

Admin/Moderator - Please delete this thread. I have started another one with a different question.

I have an in-home LAN connecting an XP SP3 machine and a CentOS 6 Linux machine. I have Drupal successfully installed and working on the Linux machine. I want to develop from the XP machine with Netbeans and use the existing Samba share on the Linux machine that now operates well. I believe that I need to move the WWW folder and any Drupal folders to the Samba share. I need some guidance on how to do that so that Drupal still works.
