install dolphin on localhost

hi,

while installing d7.2  on localhost for testing, i get to the part where i should make

the "inc" folder unwritteble. how do i do that? i tried to set the folder to read only and its

still asking to make it unwritteble. 

thanks

what OS are you using - I am doing the exact same thing right now using Centos 7 - if using Centos 7 you must disable SELinux. run the following in command line:

setenforce 0

 If your just testing it locally then there is really no need.

Changing the folder permissions can be done several ways.

Your control panel file manager, an FTP client, or via SSH if your have access to that.

i am using win7 with xampp

Just click the skip button.

its going to 404

On what URL? Is the .htaccess file present, and is mod_rewrite enabled for Apache?

Edit: IIRC, in XAMPP, both mod_rewrite needs to be loaded and AllowOverride needs to be set to All in the Apache configuration file. Then save and restart Apache.
