I had to install Apache, PHP and MySql and test them out first. That was fairly straightforward. Then I installed Drupal-6.2. The installation itself went through quickly &#8212; unlike on Yahoo where the register_globals directive prevented the installation &#8212; but there were some minor issues that needed to be sorted out.<\/p>\n<p>My Drupal setup on XP is in a subdirectory under Apache&#8217;s htdocs.  A URL like http:\/\/localhost\/drupal-6.2\/?q=admin was not getting resolved correctly. If I manually changed  it to   http:\/\/localhost\/drupal-6.2\/index.php\/?q=admin, it would work correctly.<\/p>\n<p>It was time to Google for a solution, and yet again, I found what I was looking for. The Drupal user forum had just the <a href=\"http:\/\/drupal.org\/node\/102907#comment-179941\" target=\"_blank\">answer<\/a> that I needed.<\/p>\n<p>With these changes in my Apache httpd.conf, I have my Drupal working smoothly on my XP laptop. I have something to play with, until I get Drupal running on Yahoo web service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since my Drupal installation issues on Yahoo SBWH are still unresolved, I decided to install Drupal on my Windows-XP laptop so that I can explore&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[71,146,236,261],"class_list":["post-197","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-web","tag-apache","tag-drupal","tag-mysql","tag-php","wpcat-46-id"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/technicalley.com\/central\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/technicalley.com\/central\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/technicalley.com\/central\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technicalley.com\/central\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technicalley.com\/central\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=197"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/technicalley.com\/central\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/technicalley.com\/central\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=197"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technicalley.com\/central\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=197"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technicalley.com\/central\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=197"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
