We've had a couple of employees try to install a copy of our website on their Windows XP computers, and in both cases they've gotten similar errors. Read full article »
I have Damp installed with one website on it to test Drupal and modules, etc. I wanted to test the functionality of the Drupal core performance page. I enabled normal caching, page caching (not block caching), and optimized css and javascript files. Read full article »
On the "Ports" settings screen of the Acquia Drupal Control Panel, there's a note that "On OSX you cannot use ports below 1024". Why is that? It's possible on MAMP.

Tech Support Case Studies
The S-Files are a taste of the support that you get with a subscription to Acquia Support. Our support team helps you solve technical problems relating to your Drupal sites.
The Acquia Drupal Stack installer is a major productivity booster for getting up and running in the development of your Drupal site. Sometimes, though, Drupal modules like to cache huge data packets in the database. This results in an error in your browser that says this:
Got packet bigger than ‘max_allowed_packet’ bytes
This is an indication that the data being sent between Drupal and the database is large, and exceeds the default setting.
Fortunately the fix for this is easy. In the application installation directory of the stack installer you'll find the following directory and file:
Edit the my.ini file with whatever text editor you like, and add these lines to the end:
#Max packets max_allowed_packet = 128M
Now stop and start the Acquia Drupal Stack using the Acquia Drupal Control Panel, and the new setting will come into effect. This should solve your max_allowed_packet problem!

The Acquia Drupal Stack installer for Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) has been released, and it’s pretty cool (works on 10.5 Leopard, too, of course). I’m now using it as my primary development environment, replacing MAMP. In this article I show how you can configure the stack installer to use XDebug for step through debugging. Read full article »

I installed Damp for windows. Where can I find the files of this Drupal installation? I've been looking almost for an hour and I can't find any information on this site.
If your tagline is "Drupal made easy", the least you can do, is give information on where the files are located.
Besides that, this DAMP project works like a charm. Thanks very much.
Cheers

Why the Acquia Drupal Stack is now the Drupal development stack of
choice.
Drupal On-ramp - Personal experiences at Drupal events
in recent months and reports from friends and colleagues indicate that
the Acquia Drupal Stack Installer is really changing the installation
experience for new users. This incredibly fast, painless on-ramp
experience - it lets you get right into "Drupalling" without fighting
with ports, permissions, or database connections - is winning over new
users at Drupal Camps around the world. Read full article »

Thank you for DAMP, awesome! Question from a Drupal newbie ...
Can I and/or should I run multiple instances of DAMP on Vista to support development for multiple sites not sharing code, contributed modules, nor databases?
DAMP's multi site feature would make managing multiple sites easy but these sites have nothing to do with each other and I am concerned with performance overhead and compatibility issues tied to loading many different modules not used across all site. ... or is that a pointless concern because I just don't know any better?
OS X comes with Apache 2.x, MySQL 5.x, and PHP 5.x already installed. And is continually updated with the latest versions with every new point and numeral update of the OS. So my question is do I really need to have acquia's versions installed on top of those existing versions ? Or can I just have the core components installed ?
