Learning to use open-source software such as Drupal, Trac, and Redmind, the most troublesome thing is installation and configuration. Due to system differences, it takes too much effort to install and configure at the beginning of learning, and the three minutes after the installation will not be popular. How can this problem be solved? I found that the best way is to use Bitnami, that is, using the VirtualBox Virtual Machine to directly load the system image corresponding to Bitnami, you can directly complete the system installation and configuration. The quick solution in WindowsXP3 is as follows:
- Download and install the SUN VirtualBox VM
- Download the open-source software you need from Bitnami, such as downloading the Drupal Ubuntu9.10 image Zip package (Only 239 MB)
- Unzip the downloaded package, start VirtualBox, create a new virtual machine, in the virtual machine's "virtual Media Manager", use the "register" button to put the Drupal image file (bitnami-drupal-6.16-0-ubuntu-9.10.vmdk) of Bitnami) as the virtual hard disk medium, the network of the virtual machine is configured in "NAT" format.
- When the VM is not started, run vboxmanage.exe to map port 80 of the VM's external service to port 8087 of the Local Machine (see the following example)
- Start the VM. When the root logon prompt appears, access http: // 127.0.0.1: 8087/in the Windows browser to view the corresponding Bitnami Drupal navigation page, you can learn how to use the Drupal system on this virtual machine.
