Installing Drupal

Hi,

I just installed drupal on my local machine (mac os 10.4.4). Anyhow: seems to have gone all right ... I get to the first screen that welcomes me to my drupal powered website ... however, when I click on the links to "Create First Account" I am taken to microsoft.com.

In fact, all the local (generated) links ... to my themes, setup, etc ... all take me to microsoft.com.

Is that a joke? I accessed the site from a different computer and browser with the same result.

I think I finished everything to get to the drupal welcome site but when i type my website url in browser www.miratime.dk nothing happens ??

I believe my change of urls in the configuration/settings file is correct.
$db_url = "mysql://username:password@localhost/database";

User-name: I use the user-name created for logging in to php-admin

Localhost: I use the server name(mydb3.surf-town.net) that I can see in phpMyAdmin.
I also tried to use my database-management host-name: mydb3.surftown.dk

Password: I use the password which I use for logging in to php-admin.

This is what I see in phpMyAdmin : MySQL 4.0.26-standard-log runs on mydb3.surf-town.net as MyUserName@wsi1.surf-town.net . I believe my database is setup right. I pushed the sql-button and imported al my (55) tables, So I think the database is setup fine. Could I have done this wrong ?

In the webshell file administration at http://wsw3.surftown.dk I can see my 4 folders: my to website domain folders, one logs folder, and my drupal-4.65 folder. I have an account name which is identical to my ftp:login. I am running on a windows NT server.

Should I move drupal folder into my websites folder?

I haven’t created any htaccess files , should I ?

This guy http://drupal.org/node/48945 is adding af drupal version name to the end of his url’s, should I do the same?

I have been stuck for a couple of evenings now and I can’t do any constructive work by myself anymore, so if somebody could ask me the right questions and help me out, I would be happy.

Hi,

I've just finished configuring smtp on my server, and have successfully received the first user password in the email! Wonderful stuff! However, before activating the account (currently blocked - which is the way I want it) I thought I'd try the request new password..argh..threw a huge error.

Any ideas on how to solve this?
thanks

Hello,

I just upgraded drupal from 4.6.3 to 4.6.5. Subsequently I went nuts and installed about a zillion modules, all of them the 4.6 versions (haven't touched 4.7) and most of them work swimmingly, but a couple - event and acidfree in particular - turn up fatal errors when I enable them! It looks like they are trying to call drupal_add_js(), and they can't find it! What is this routine, what does it do and how can I make these modules work?

Someone mentioned that drupal_add_js() was in the head, and in 4.7, but not 4.6.5... is this true, and if so why?

Thanks,

Hi, I'm a newbie to Drupal.
I've got the site loading up fine right now, but when I add a blog entry or comment this error comes up –

user error: Access denied for user: 'thekeep_mark@%' to database 'thekeep_drupal'
query: LOCK TABLES sequences WRITE in /hsphere/local/home/thekeepe/subdomain.domain.com/main/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 66.
warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /hsphere/local/home/thekeepe/absolutelyinvincible.mawebpublishing.com/main/includes/common.inc:384) in /hsphere/local/home/thekeepe/absolutelyinvincible.mawebpublishing.com/main/includes/common.inc on line 192.

Can anybody tell me what is going on right now.

If I changed anything in the configuration file, Drupal won't load. I don't want this kind of error to come up for the future visitors to my site.

This is how I created my Drupal site -

1.) I created a database thekeep_drupal through a web interface with my hosting company.
2.) I created a user thekeep_mark through through a web interface with my hosting company.

this username has the following privilages
grant
drop
update
create
alter
index
select
insert
delete

3.) I went into the data base through phpMyAdmin webinterface software.
4.) I uploaded the table files through the SQL uploader/executor
5.) I created my administrator user and password.

I set a drupal site on a linux server and it runs smootly
Now I dit the same on a windowsserver en a must remove the .htacces to run.
But I dont get the menus so it dus not run properly.

Ho nows the trick ?

I have a long term hosting contract and I like Drupal.
But it must run under the server.
