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.
Please ignore this thread; the problem has been solved.
Thanks.
