Installing Drupal

Hi.

I am trying to install drupal on the Uniform Server on my laptop to test out tricks and theme development while I am traveling. I got the server started, installed drupal, created the first user...and all this works fine. However, for some reason the uniform server (WAMP) doesn't know what drupal means by:

http:///?q=admin/whatever

It returns an error for an invalid address.

Why is it doing this? Is it a change I need to make in apache? Is there a way around this in drupal? Also, because of the way apache is running on the uniform server, if I set the base url to http://localhost, when I click a "home" link in the drupal site, it takes me to the admin page for uniform server, I have to actually tell it to point to http://localhost/index.php. I checked and there was nothing in the root directory besides what I installed there. I'm going to guess that all this can be fixed by a few configuration changes made to the apache server, I just need some direction as to which ones. I should add that uniform server does not run the WAMP as NT services, since it can run from a jump drive and such. I think this might be another reason for some of the problems.

Has anyone else given this a shot with any success? I was thinking about writing a how-to on the subject to add to the documentation of possible configurations because I think it could be a powerful tool for those who want to tinker with drupal when they dont have a connection to their server back home.

I have two sites. One is test site with Drupal - and after 2-3 months of work time has come to transfer that site to another host. Note that only way to connect to mysql on both sites is through CPanel and phpMyAdmin.

Now I export test Drupal site with all structure and data, and erased INSERT statements for next tables acsesslog, cache, locales_soruce, locales_target, search_index, search_total, session, watchdog (without this export sql file was too big for phpMyAdmin too process). I also changed the prefix of tables - on test site there was no prefix, and on production I added 'dp_' in exported sql script.

And then on production site I import, with a help of phpMyAdmin, modified exported sql file from test Drupal site. Copy all Drupal files and everything is good - all content is there, all users, logging of existing users is working...

But, problem arise when I try to add some new content on production site. For example, I try to register a new user, and Drupal tries to add that user in users table with a uid 1 (and last existing user is uid 17). And I get error

Duplicate entry '1' for key 1 query: INSERT INTO users (...

Because there is allready user with uid 1.

Same is with forum - when I add new forum topic, Drupal start from nid 1 in node table, but there is allready node with nid 1.

I experiment with auto_increment mysql command in exportet sql script but that failed.

Hello,

My host provides mysql via a seperate server, I just have the IP address for this server, I used this in the settings file, with the various other settings and all I get is internal server error when accessing the site?

Can you configure Drupal in this fashion?

My Host is Fasthosts, has anyone else sucessfully set up Drupal on Fasthosts that could help me?

thanks in advance.

my site:

http://rogers.gotdns.com/

Drupal 4.6.3, php 5.0.4/Apache MySQL 4.1.13.

when i click on 'Register' i get: 404 Not Found.

the module directory and the user.module are all www accessible.

what could be the problem?

thanks

Hi

I have installed Ecommerce module and when I'm going to administer>store>transactions and want to create new transaction or clicking in already existing orders to 'shipping notify' or 'edit' I have this error:

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in \htdocs\modules\ecommerce\store\store.inc on line 192

Please help me to fix it

First, my apologies for the cross forum post but I just realized I'd put it in the wrong spot earlier today. It was pre-coffee, what can I say.

I'm trying to install drupal on my server. Successfully loaded the tables into the database and I've updated the lines $db_url = "mysql://username:password@localhost/database"; and $base_url = "http://www.example.com"; in the settings.php file ...

Up to step 5 in the handbook and pointed my browser to my URL and get this error:
