However, I'm modifying it slightly, because I didn't want WAMP, I wanted XAMPP. So far I've done it with exactly the same results. I'll type if I run into a snag.
WOOO created a database! Ooooh wow, this is sooo cool...
kk, ran into a few snags. The file didn't recognize that I was the root, so I couldn't get in to move the drupal files into the place I wanted it. So I got in and changed permissions, but it didn't recognize me as an owner, even if I did have permissions. So I used chown on it to give my username power to modify the LAMPP files. I might need to log out and log in again, hang on... Nope, I needed to changed the permissions lower down. Man, this is all connected so amazingly... wow.
Okay, got the permission changed, and I dropped Drupal into it. Yehaw! Now I wait to see what I'm supposed to do next...
Goodness, that was a TRIP! Drupal is now installed, and tomorrow I think I'll start playing around with it. What did I learn today? Oh, a heck of a lot.
1. Permissions. They're EVERYTHING with Linux. So when Mr Bravo made us play with them so much in our Linux class, there was actually a really important point to it.
2. That would've been better to know before I started out installing XAMPP and Drupal
3. But it's okay, 'cuz I know now.
4. Documentation is rocking awesome! Now I can review this! YEAH!
5. Ahh, sweet success. You just can't beat the feeling of successfully installing something using a Linux terminal. And also the GUI stuff. I just love it when things work.
6. Like I said in the previous post, know where the chocolate is.
7. Google is your best friend. So is sudo su.
