How to install Drupal on WAMP Server. Note, Drupal is a free and open-source web content management system written in PHP and distributed under the GNU General Public License. Drupal provides an open-source back-end framework for at least 14% of the top 10,000 websites worldwide. To get Drupal to work with WAMP server, first you will have to install WAMP on Windows.

WAMP Server refers to a solution stack for the Microsoft Windows operating system, created by Romain Bourdon and consisting of the Apache web server, OpenSSL for SSL support, MySQL database and PHP programming language, link below to a video with more information.

Video from “DrupalCamp” NJ YouTube channel, it is the March 2022 Central NJ Web Developers Meetup. First part of the video is talking monitoring, with Droplet on Digital Ocean. Remember Digital Ocean offers built-in monitoring capabilities to track infrastructure metrics like CPU usage, disk usage, disk I/O, bandwidth, and memory at no additional charge. Many things were covered in the first part of the video, as far as backend server configurations. Second part of the video is a demo on the Tome Project.

Tome is a static site generator, and a static storage system for your content. With Tome enabled, any changes to config, content, or files will be automatically synced to your local filesystem. These exports can be used to fully rebuild the site from scratch, which removes the need for a persistent SQL database or filesystem.
