I have tried to install the latest drupal (this is my first time) .
I edited php.ini and placed many extensions to load including
extension=php_pdo.dll
extension=php_msql.dll
extension=php_mssql.dll
extension=php_mysql.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll
which i believe are the ones that have to do with mysql connection...Even with this, I try to install drupal and I get the error
"In your ./sites/default/settings.php file you have configured Drupal to use a mysql server, however your PHP installation currently does not support this database type."

This one has really got me burnt.
I'm serving my Drupal site using MAMP Pro.
I am using a multi site configuration.
I already have two test sites function very well.
I just tried to add a third and I can't access it using my base URL. I can access the site if I type in "www.example.com/admin" or "www.example.com/index.php". So I know the site is working and the databases are fine. I've reconfigured my themes and edited content. But if I were to type in "http://www.example.com", rather than seeing my newest drupal site, I see my default html page I've set as a static homepage.

Hi, I'm trying to install Drupal in a shared hosting environment under Windows. The installating fails due to the PHP setting "register_globals" being set to 1.
I don't believe that I will be able to modify the Windows registry to alter this property. Is there any other way to work around the problem?
Here is a comment from my hosting provider. Will this suggestion allow me to complete the Drupal installation process? Failing that, is there any way of circumventing this particular requirement?
-----
On Windows, register_globals is On. A user on Windows cannot turn off register_globals, however,
you can use this code to accomplish the same effect:

With multisite installation, I want to install the same module in the all/ directory and a site specific directory, and then play around with the site specific version of the module without affecting the behaviour of the module on the other sites.
This doesn't seem to be working: all sites in my installation seem to be using the all/ version. Is it possible to do what I'm trying to do, or is it fundamentally a mistaken idea?

first post to these forums;
new to Drupal...so bear with me.
Previously, I've done my work in asp.net 2.0 with alot of html and flash. The drupal platform was introduced to me by a fellow freelancer and it has a real appeal.
after developing a simple site on 'wamp' locally, i wanted to upload to my godaddy shared hosting site and after beating my head against the wall for an interminable amount of time, i had moderate success - albeit painfully and incomplete.
fast forward:
i talked to the scripting support at godaddy; got a sharp woman named Bonnie who directed me to the facile Drupal 6 installation package on godaddy. Within minutes, i had a fresh install with configured database, etc.
Why I didn't see this sooner? I don't know, it would've saved me so much time..
so, in the spirit of community, I thought I'd share this - this may already be something everyone here already knows...but.
after logging into godaddy;

My system is as follows - Dedicated Server Quad Core 2.4 Xeon 100Mbit 10TB
Drupal 6.x
CentOS / CPanel
MYSQL 5.2.5
PHP 5
---
When I goto install.php it asks for the username/password/databasename
then it goes through until it gets to initializing.. it freezes..
Any ideas why?
I installed mbstring and PDO as it requested and warned.
I would like to get this up and running and would appreciate any help. I am really interested in using Drupal as my CMS.
Thank you,
Andrew

Hi,
I tried to install FCKeditor in my local drupal site. It does not work properly. So I unmistakenly made a mistake. I am a newby.
I get the followwing warnings:
* warning: fopen(modules/wysiwyg/fckeditor/fckeditor.js) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\drupal-6.6\modules\wysiwyg\editors\fckeditor.inc on line 59.
* warning: fgets(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in C:\xampp\htdocs\drupal-6.6\modules\wysiwyg\editors\fckeditor.inc on line 60.
The question is simple: What to do and the answer is hopefully simple too.

Hi Everyone.
I searched for the solution to this problem, but was unable to find one. I had a developer create my site for me to get me started. The developer created the site www.classcurriculum.com and put it up on the web.
I now want to download the site and make changes to the site on my local PC, so I did the following;
-Installed WAMP
-Uncommented the “LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so” and added the local directory in httpd.conf
-Downloaded the site from the host provider
-Exported the DB from the host provider
-Imported the database to my PC and checked it in PHPmyAdmin, localhost has all permissions
-Installed all the drupal site files to my “sites” directory
-Changed the settings.php file;
-----$db_url = 'mysqli://root@localhost/DATABASE' (DATABASE is the DB that was imported to local PC)
-----$base_url = 'c:/sites';

I've installed drupal 6.6 on my OSX laptop, and configured a site, including customizing a subtheme in Zen.
I copied it to my dedicated webhost server.
It produces the errors shown below.
To copy the site from OSX to webhosting server, I used phpMyAdmin to dump the drupal database to an sql file at the root of the local site, then used OSX Finder to compress (zip) root of local site, then sftp'd to server, unzipped, and used mysql command line to load database.
Suggestions?
It produces these errors:

I installed drupal on my Mac using the MAMP setup to run a server on my computer. But when I try to create a new account to log in, no password is being sent to my e-mail. Is this because it's running on a localhost and not the actual web? How can I create an account to access my drupal website if I just want to work on something on my own machine before I pay for a web host?

Hello. I have other Drupal sites install and running on my server. I installed another instance like I always do. Created the db in mysql with the same username.
When I enter the information Drupal just loops back to the "Set up database" part of the install. No erros or nothing. I verified everything like 20 times.
I am using a Godaddy virtual server mysql is on the same server as my webserver. This has been an issue for a few days and I have tried everything with no avail.
Thanks for your time.

Hi,
I'm pretty new to this, so, this may be a dumb question.
I cannot get to the index.php page to finish my install.
I am trying to install Drupal 6.6 on RHEL 4. I have Apache 2.2, PHP 4.3.9 and MYSQL 5. I have verified that Apache, PHP and MYSQL are all running.
index.php is in:
/var/www/html/drupal
I am trying to set up Drupal to run on my intranet. Once I go to http://localhost/drupal/index.php , I see this error in my browser:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /drupal/index.php on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Please - how do I fix this err msg?
Thanks,

PHP register globals Enabled ('1')
register_globals is enabled. Drupal requires this configuration directive to be disabled. Your site may not be secure when register_globals is enabled. The PHP manual has instructions for how to change configuration settings.

Hello,
I am using apache2triad and drupal is installed to this directory \htdocs\drupal .
So when I go to my site, I get the htdocs folder list. I tried going into the httpd file and change the document root to \drupal but when I go to restart the apache server service, it will not start back up. Once I put the setting back, it starts up no problem..
How can I fix this?

I am running drupal 5.
I need to move my drupal installation to a new hosting provider so have copied all my files and have started uploading them to my new host. I have also copied all the MYSQL database from my old host and uploaded it to a new database on my new host.
Please could someone tell me the files i need to edit to set it up to work with the new database name and to totally work properly.
Thanks in advance.
