First time trying to use drupal. I installed it on a fresh subdomain on a domain that is already up and running properly. I did this via the script namecheap hosting provides. It says it installed successfully and gave me what I guess are the admin login link hhttp://www.curated.realtimeleadgen.com/?q=user and of course the subdomain http://www.curated.realtimeleadgen.com/

I am adding a new site to my shared server. I have done this many, many times. I was working with a new theme and things went wonky (see http://www.inthecupgolf.com, while http://www.powerball4life.com/inthecupgolf works as it should!) . I couldn't figure out what was wrong and since it was a new installation I just deleted the MySQL database and the files and re-installed. I used the drupal-7.37.tar.gz file and re-installed all the modules and theme files.

Hello All,
I need your help in order to upload a Drupal site on the on my hosting server.
I friend of mine gave me his data base and folders of the web site he did locally. He has also bought a domain name.
I proposed to host his site on my server 1 and 1 . However I’m not sure how do I upload a web site on my server and after link it to his domain name?
Can someone explain it to me or give some tutorial?

Thank you in advance for your help,

Goran

Hello, I get this error on the 3. step of installation:

"Database setup fails to proceed. No error. (Drupal 6)"

But I'm sure my database name and password are true.

What should I do?

Hello

I recently started working with the Drupal pack for websites. Everything seems to work really great except for one thing I can't find.
In the photogallery I made some albums but it seems my pictures all stay horizontal when some of them have to be in the vertical position (here is an example on my website: http://kzvwetthra.be/fotogalerij/kijk-wat-ik-kan-wedstrijd-2015).
