[drupal-support] Base_URL

[David Blomstrom]

I recently installed Drupal and immediately got stuck on the 
instructions regarding base_url. I don't know what "point your browser" 
at a web page means, and I'm not sure what page I'm supposed to point it at.

My Drupal installation is at C:\drupal, so I assume I'm supposed to 
point my browser to C:\drupal\index.php or C:\drupal\default\index.php 
(after creating a page named index.php and dropping it into the default 
folder. But my new website is tentatively titled GeoZoo2, so I renamed 
the folder "default" to "geozoo2."

But let's go back to square one. I'd like someone to tell me how to do 
it correctly.

1) If you were going to create a website from scratch whose home page 
will preview at http://geozoo2/, where would you place that website 
physically? Do I need to rename default to "geozoo2," or is 
C:\drupal\index.php my home page?

2) Based on your answers to the above questions, what would you enter 
for the base_url on settings.php?

3) Is that all I have to do to preview my website at http://geozoo2/, or 
do I need to set geozoo2 up as an Apache virtual server, the same as 
I've done for my other websites?

Thank you.
