Setting phpMyAdmin
After installing the application the setup screen states I need a config folder. The installation directions are not clear to me. It says I have to create the config folder in the root directory. I am...
Sorry, I just saw this...The config directory is installed when you install PHP. Have you fixed your problem yet? Before installing any of the listed add-ons you have to install PHP. You should start by uninstalling everything and starting with PHP.
Hi, no problem ;)
Thank you for the instructions, I managed to have it running after a few days of trials and errors (mostly errors, actually).
The problem is that now I don't really remember how I fixed the issue, but it is possible that I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling everything in the correct order.
My guess it that you uninstalled everything as well. There is something to be said for trial and error, but here is a quick rundown of what was going on. All the programs you installed were dependent on a successful installation of PHP. The config file is generated when PHP is successfully installed (it can be a pain to get to but that's another story). phpMyAdmin allows you to manipulate the database without having to learn mySQL. but it's a good skill to have. If you need to get on some MySQL knowledge, you can take a basics course for free from Code Academy. For an online coding site their programs are pretty good. Let me know if you need any help, I am pushing the Netgear equipment to it's maximum capabilities so by the time I am done I should be a great resource for those looking for small business IT solutions.
Thank you very much for your offer!
I have experience in low level programming, but almost nothing in (modern) PC programming. I was trying to get Drupal running on my NAS to host a small website, but after trying it I decided that it was not what I needed and I moved to a normal website designed with standard tools, so at the end I'm not using PHP/MySQL/Drupal any more, but maybe in the future I may get back to it.
It sounds like you may be a little confused as to how Drupal functions. Drupal is a content management system, and is a part of the back end of a website. At this point I would have to say Drupal has become a pretty standard web design too, but it sounds like you need to decide what your requirements are for both your front end and back end. I wish you the best of luck with your web design endeavor. I would spend some time doing research on front and back end options and have a clear understanding of what you'll need...and why you need it. Typically a professional web desinger would walk you throught this process, it's often expensice, but that's exactly what you pay them for. If you need an intermediate solution, you might try a website builder like GoDaddy or Wix.
