Installing Drupal

I've just installed drupal on a server at my isp, they have seperate servers for apache/static and cgi content. it is installed in the cgi, drupal its self works fine if the main dir contents are in the cgi-bin/

I spent several hours of reading and tinkering and could not for the life of me, get FCKeditor to work.

The problem a lot of people encountered (me included) is the lack of understandable documentation detailing creation and proper placement of FCKeditor related directories and files. What follows is the proper installation process.

I suggest before begining, undo all your previous FCKeditor tinkering.

Hope this works for you, as it did for me:

Step 1
Put the Drupal provided module file (the file you download from Drupal) "fckeditor-4.6.0.tar.gz" in the Drupal sub directory "modules".

Step 2
Unzip (extract) the files from "fckeditor-4.6.0.tar.gz" from its location inside the Drupal directory "modules".
This extraction will create under the Drupal sub directory "modules" a new sub directory called "FCKeditor".
The extraction will also place new files in the new sub directory "FCKeditor" and create under the directory "FCKeditor," a sub directory named "ssip".

Step 3
Create under the sub directory "FCKeditor" a directory called "lib".

Step 4
Put Inside of the new "lib" directory, the latest distribution file (such as fckeditor_2.0.tar.gz) from www.fckeditor.net

Step 5
Unzip (extract) the files from "fckeditor_2.0.tar.gz"
It will create under the sub directory "lib", subdirectories called "editor", "_ samples", _testcases" and a bunch of files

Hi,

I'm a Drupal newbie, and this questions was probably already discussed:

I want to use Drupal on my private homepage, primarily for blogging. The installation went fine with my German provider (Strato).

I am receiving a Permission denied when attempting to access my new installation. The error captured is:

[Sun Aug 28 16:07:04 2005] [error] [client 24.4.200.182] (13)Permission denied: access to /drupal/index.php denied

I copied a complex html file into the same directory and received the following errors when I attempted to access it with a browser:

[Sun Aug 28 16:03:42 2005] [debug] mod_rewrite.c(1778): [client 24.4.200.182] mod_rewrite's internal redirect status: 0/10., referer: http://drone.fmtsystems.com/drupal/index.html
[Sun Aug 28 16:03:42 2005] [error] [client 24.4.200.182] (13)Permission denied: access to /drupal/index.php denied, referer: http://drone.fmtsystems.com/drupal/index.html

I have tried all three mod_rewrite rule sets in .htaccess by commenting out:
Only the first
Only the second
Only the third
All of them
The behavior did not change.

Other php apps work in this directory. Created a simple test by creating a php file named info.php that calls phpinfo()

My drupal directory:
/var/www/html/drupal

File permissions in drupal directory:
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Aug 28 17:51 .
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Aug 28 15:55 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1996 Aug 28 13:37 .htaccess
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5639 Aug 28 17:51 index2.html
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 147 Aug 28 16:13 index.html
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 595 Aug 20 2004 index.php

When I tried to add new vocabulary to the categories section, I received this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: node_list() in /home/content/drupal/modules/taxonomy.module on line 96

Can I fix this? What does it mean?

Thanks,

Marci

All,

I'm trying to get clean URLs working in a new installation of Drupal 4.6.3 on FreeBSD. I'm using Apache 1.3.27, and I have mod_rewrite installed and working for non-drupal sites.

When I try to enable clean URLs in the settings, I get the following message:

It appears your host is not configured correctly for Clean URLs. Please check for ModRewrite support with your administrator.

I've checked, and I have the following in my config file:

AllowOverride All
