GETTING STARTED WITH DRUPAL

To begin with drupal we need to follow certain steps :-

1. Download a localhost server(I have used wamp server). To download wamp server : http://www.wampserver.com/en/download.php
2. Install the server in your pc.
3. Download drupal - 7.8 files in your system from http://drupal.org/download
4. Move the folder containing drupal files to ”C:\wamp\www\”
5. Open the link http://localhost/drupal-7.8 .
6. Installation will start and it will ask database name.
7. Now, go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin and create a new database.
8. Give database name at http://localhost/drupal-7.8  as your database name, path as root, database server as localhost and no password.
9. Enjoy using drupal.
