I've created an account at Hostgator to learn Drupal. I've installed it and the main site is working.
I want to install a subdomain, and am following the directions at http://drupal.org/documentation/install/multi-site. But my url sub.main.com is going to my main site.

• I've created a new db and set permissions,
• I created a new folder: sites/sub.main.com and put a copy of settings.php there
• modified settings.php with the new db prefix (not in the instructions, but seemed logical)
• at Hostgator, created a subdomain 'sub' and pointed it to 'home/royhink/www'

So, are the Apache configuration files required? I have an 'etc' folder in my root, but it is empty. Do I need to create /etc/httpd/httpd.conf to get this to work?

I have been trying to re-install one of my websites which is running off one copy of the Drupal core code. I get the above error, which does not state which table is causing the error.
I then click the re-load button and then I get "Table variable already exists." When I look at the database it shows that only 26 tables have been created.
I thought the problem might have been because I had created a subdomain under the main domain. I deleted that and still get the error.
It all started when I tried to install the UBERCART module.
When I do a Google search I find there are a LOT of other people getting this same error but on different tables. Could it be a MySQL problem.

Hi,
I'm testing out Drupal 7.12 on Windows 7, with MySql 5.0.51a, Apache 2.2.8, and PHP 5.2.5. Everything's been installed (supposedly) according to the default paths and nothing gives any error messages. However, localhost still defaults to index.htm in the htdocs folder, and the only way to see the Drupal installation is to go to localhost/index.php. Any PHP/Drupal-generated page, such as http://localhost/?q=admin, also display index.htm.
Could somebody please help with with this? I'm not really sure what the problem is, and looking it up hasn't borne any results.

ohk i am facing this very weird problem .
i have a cloud server hosted with rackspace and have installed ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx LTS in it. i have installed apache 2 , php and mysql server in it along with phpmyadmin. when i download and extract drupal 7 default or any custom profiles i face this problem. When i extract it using tar -xzvf it extracts by default into /var/www/drupal-7.12/ and then i set permissions to 777 using chmod
not as you know that for website name to redirect to a ip address i should have index file in www folder instead of a sub folder so i copy all the files into www folder.

Its almost three days , i started googling for how to set up gd in php, which i got as an error in drupal installation.Moreover , i m using Linux system. Help me out.

Hello!
I'm trying to install some modules via drupal admin, directly from url.
The installer creates, in the temporary directory, a file owned by www-data.www-data. Then, it tries to write inside it, and it cannot do it. This was my process:
1st try to install:
I put the url http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/views-7.x-3.3.tar.gz, send it and I receive the next message:
No se ha podido guardar http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/views-7.x-3.3.tar.gz en temporary://update-cache-e821c86a/views-7.x-3.3.tar.gz
(Basically: the file cannot be saved).

Hi & please help, I'm new to Drupal. I've php running with fastcgi on IIS7 & that tests fine with <?php phpinfo(); ?> however the website simply returns "The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error has occurred." Why???

I am a newbie in Drupal. I am finding it difficult to instal Core Drupal. I have entered my site information in Configure site setting and after clicking save and continue, the message i get is : Fatal error: Call to undefined function field_attach_load() in C:\Users\user\Desktop\moco\includes\entity.inc on line 320. I have looked at the includes/entity.inc folder, yet i am still unable to solve the problem.

Hi.
I'm new to the Drupal world. I read the instructions about installing Drupal 7 on an webserver, and the account i have has all the requirements needed. When i try to run the install.php file this error appears on the browser:

Can anyone help me?
Thank you very much.
