Acquia Drupal stack control panel

This is the control center for your Acquia Drupal sites installed and managed by the Acquia Drupal "DAMP" stack installer.

• Stop/Start - This button stops and starts the stack's Apache and MySQL servers (server restarts are required following certain types configuration changes). Green lights on the control panel indicate that they are running.

• Go to my site - Opens the selected Acquia Drupal site in your web browser. To administer your site, login using the username and password of the Drupal account you set during installation of the Acquia Drupal stack.

• Drop-down selector

  • "localhost" is the name of the first site installed. When you have created others, you can select them from this list.
  • "More..." - This option takes you to the Sites settings tab where you can add, edit and delete local Acquia Drupal sites.

• Manage my database - Opens phpMyAdmin in your web browser.

  PhpMyAdmin is a powerful and useful database administration tool for inspecting, browsing, creating, backing up, or restoring MySQL databases as needed.

  Note that the Acquia Drupal stack installer takes care of database creation and deletion as part of the local site installation and deletion processes.

• Settings - Displays the Acquia Drupal stack installer settings tabs. Use this to configure the control panel behavior; manage port and configuration settings; view server logs; and manage multiple local Acquia Drupal web sites.
