    Newbie here. I'm working with xampp for the first time, attempting to create a local server environment on an external drive, and install Lyceum. I've got Lyceum in the htdocs folder, and have changed the settings in the config.php file thusly:

    define('WEBROOT', 'F:\xampplite\htdocs\lyceum\src\lyceum');
    // The IP address or equivalent domain name of the server (MUST have 1 or more periods - 'localhost' will not work!)
    define('MAINDOMAIN', '127.0.0.1');

    I renamed the file, per the install instructions, but when I attempt to access the install via my browser (http://localhost/lyceum/src/lyceum/wp-admin/install.php) I get an error message that reads: "must be writable by the webserver."

    I've had a look though the forum, and read that there's an .htaccess fix for this. Howevver, I don't know A) how to find that file in a windows environment, and B) what to do with it once I find it. Can anyone help?

    My *guess* would be that maindomain above should be localhost (or use maindomain in the url instead of local host).

    Also, .htaccess isn't part of Windows. You can get third-party s/w that does the same thing, but it's not a basic part of windows.
