Installing Drupal

Hi there,

I'm brand new to PHP and Drupal. Google says Acquia Drupal is the way to start so I installed Acquia Dev Desktop 2 on Windows 7. It installed Apache, PHP, Drupal and MySQL and the website is running well. Is there a way to just use PHP, Apache and MySQL that Acquia Dev Desktop has installed?

The reason I want to create simple PHP pages is because I'm learning PHP and MySQL.

I created an account in Acquia Forum to ask this question but it says I cannot post a question. So I thought someone here might have used Acquia Dev Desktop and can help me.

I have scatter info about on my server's wiki on how to change this error to get a drupal 6 site installed. I am looking for solutions , but if you can give me detailed steps on how to do this without screwing it up, I would appreciate it.

---- Multibyte string input conversion in PHP is active and must be disabled. Check the php.ini mbstring.http_input setting. Please refer to the PHP mbstring documentation for more information. (Currently using Unicode library Error)

Do I go into the PHP on my web server or is there a file within all the upload files to change

First a clear statement; there is absolutely no doubt (based on both personal experience with a compromised pre-Drupal-7.32 site and on a review of literally 100s of discussions of this matter both on Drupal.org and wider WWW) that running suPHP (which forces the web server to run PHP script as cPanel/filesystem user) has serious security implications for all PHP-based CMS systems, including Drupal.

I tried installing drupal (http://doc.kimia.unimus.ac.id).
The installation process can not run, look at the form action:

form action = "/http://doc.kimia.unimus.ac.id/install.php",

there is a slash (/) before the 'http'.

How to remove theese slash (/)?

Thaks for solution

Hello Guys. I am new to developing but I have been learning a lot of stuff for over a year now. Time has come that I should have a CMS set up on my laptop which is running Ubuntu 14.04.

I have followed an online guide at http://www.liberiangeek.net/2014/08/install-drupal-ubuntu-14-04/ to help me install Drupal

1. I had LAMP installed a few months ago. This guide helped me create a database in mysql by the name of drupaldb

We are trying to deploy DRUPAL 7 on IIS with SQL SERVER 2008 R2. We are able to configure deploy the app on IIS but we are unable to configure SQL SERVER 2008 R2. By default it is showing MYSQL and SQL Lite.

We followed steps given in the DRUPAL Site to configire SQL Server 2008 R2. https://www.drupal.org/node/1207972. Refered this link and downloaded the files and copied in the respective folders but we are getting blank screen when we select configure database section.

Thanks,
Bhagat
