Ok I'll give it a go - once again thanks

Thanks again. I assume setting up shares on other volumes is either not possible or too difficult at this stage.

One thing that has occurred to me is how do I remove all the shares in Ubuntu (mainly so that I can set it up again and practice)? Also is it possible to share other volumes or dives (or folders in...

Morbius I can't thank you enough - this has worked. I am still trying to digest what has happened, ie why it works and where I went wrong before. One interesting thing I noted was that there were...

Sorry dumb question but I don't know how to ping from Ubuntu and how do you find the ip address (ipconfig in windows) etc?

Yes indeed, I want to dedicate the computer exclusively to Ubuntu etc. I will need to look at the tutorial.

Many thanks

I want to map my windows 7 pcs to drives on my Ubuntu computer. I am taking the plunge to move over to Ubuntu, but still have a great deal to learn first. I can't seem to find any straight forward...

Ok thanks. But how would I:

1. check that PHP5 is working?
2. do I put the pages - do they go under var/www or etc/apache2/config.d?
3. need to update a configuration file (if so which) to tel...

Ok so I am getting somewhere but still don't want to make changes because I don't understand what the significance is of what I'm seeing and also what I might change. Too much is new at once so...

Thanks, though I am a little nervous won't Lamp "mess-up" the existing Mysql and workbench installation" ?

Everything is new in Ubuntu. Including the new file structures, I haven't go my head...

Many thanks, of course Apache is what I need, I really should have known better. I will read the "How to install documentation" and as usual much of it I won't understand, but it will take me a step...

Thanks will look into this. Not really worried about how clunky, just want to assess the lie of the land so to speak.

How do I install php to work on a single pc?
