Summary

You should now have a working development environment that includes an Apache Web server, a MySQL database, Eclipse with a PHP development plug-in, and a blank Drupal installation. All of these components should be configured and working properly provided that you followed the tutorial exactly. We cannot guarantee that newer versions of the software will function exactly as versions presented here. If you are having trouble getting any of the software working, please consult its documentation.

If you or a team member are using Windows as a development platform, please see Part 3: Build your development environment in Windows for a detailed setup guide.

If you are not using Windows, please stay tuned for Part 5 in this series, where you learn how to get started working with Drupal.
