Installing Drupal

Hi everyone,

I have Drupal installed successfully, but it will not email the first user account password to me.

I have Postfix installed, and it is working just fine.

I created a file called "testmail.php" to see if my php mail function/MTA are working:

i am trying to install drupal 4.6.3 on a yahoo small business account for a friend.
i followed the directions for installation, except the .htaccess file was not recognized when uploaded
to his site. the system did not recognize".htaccess" as a valid filename, maybe for security reasons.
we are waiting for a response from the yahoo support team.

Hi,

I just set up a Drupal installation, but it is not sending out password reminders. So I checked the forums and found some information. After the following correspondence with my admin, I was asked to implement pear function for sending email. Does anyone know of a workaround? Thanks!

This post was about about the Drupal site transfer to a new server and there being an issue with sent email coming from nobody@local or something. The email From field is controlled by the infomration in
the php.ini configuration file and whether your site is allowed to send is controlled by relay restrictions on your

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I sent this query to my site admin.

Reply:
The php mail function you are using is sending mails as user 'nobody'. User 'nobody' does not permission to send mails through our server. We have blocked it due to security concerns. You can impletment pear function which sends mails from unique user. Go through this link for more tips:
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.mail.mail.send.php . Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance.

I asked if php.ini could be modified (I do not have access to php.ini on my setup)

i have a problem with tinyMCE in my drupal 4.6.3. i followed the instructions:

1. Place the entire tinymce directory into your Drupal modules/
directory.

2. Download TinyMCE 1.44 from
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tinymce/tinymce_1_44.zip

3. Place the entire 'tinymce' folder inside your modules/tinymce directory.

4. Load the database definition file (tinymce.mysql) using the
tool of your choice (e.g. phpmyadmin).

Hi,

First of all, yes, I read all the earlier posts and documentation dealing with the header information issue (it's suposed to be some sort of blank spaces at the end of the file) but it's not running for me. Cleaning the file is not getting away this message, and when I try to do it now I cannot see any blank space after the end of php tags on file common.inc (see below).

Anyway, here is my error log, and I hope some of you guys could point me to the right solution:

user error: Access denied for user: 'drupal@localhost' to database 'drupal'
query: LOCK TABLES sequences WRITE in /home/httpd/vhosts/damaine.name/httpdocs/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 90.

warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/httpd/vhosts/domain.name/httpdocs/includes/common.inc:63) in /home/httpd/vhosts/domain.name/httpdocs/includes/common.inc on line 481.

where domain.name is my domain name.

Regarding the database issue, I took the mysql scheme file (database.mysql) and uploaded it thru phpmyadmin. I couldn't manage anything about permissions (as installation documentation said) but drupal was running so I didn't worry about it.

Do you know if my problem with database access is a real problem or something related with the second error? It's a clean installation and I'm able to post comments, new nodes, or anything, but somethimes I get these errors and no information how to deal with them.

It was working fine for a few days and then I noticed today that when I save anything while logged in as the admin I get a "page cannot be displayed" error. Anybody had any ideas?

Thanks,
Dave
