Okay so today I got an email from my boss asking me to bring my laptop along so I could get some howto Drupal videos on it. I figured it'd be a good thing to have Drupal installed on my Windows machine too.
That was a whole different banana... haha
So my biggest problem with Linux is that I had to keep giving MYSELF permission to access all the files, right? I mean, besides the other problems... and this time, I was thinking HURRAH I won't have any permissions to worry about!
I went to this site for step by step: http://drupal.org/node/307956
So I copied the drupal files over to htdocs in XAMPP and tried to open up phpmyadmin, and got this error:
#2003 - Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)Back to Google! After some research, I figured out the problem is with the Antivirus software blocking XAMPP. Fabulous. I fixed those settings, and it seems to be doing alright so far!
Dontcha just LOOOOOVE when the computer tells you what to do?
Virus Protection: "NO YOU CAN'T OPEN XAMPP IT'S NOT APPROOOOOOVED!"
Me: "Uh, yeah I can. I opened it."
Virus Protection: "YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING! YOU'LL RUIN EVERYTHING!"
Me: "Whatever."
I like Linux. Linux lets you do whatever. Just don't type in rm -f *.* and you're golden. ;)
Hey, speaking of Linux, check out this awesome list of cool commands! http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/linuxcommands.html
It's done. XDD That was much better than yesterday, I think it would've been good on MICK too instead of my laptop. I'm going to start playing with Drupal now, so have a great day, and if something earth shaking or whatever happens, I'll blog about it. :D
