Installing Drupal

Hello All,

I am treading into open source software and I have been able to install MovableType, WordPress and phpBB very easily on 1and1.com. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to install drupal 4.6.2 on my free account hosted at 1and1.com

I put the correct database, database name, username and localhost server name in the settings.php configuration file.

I get this error when I access the root of my install for the first time:

#<Files ~ "(\.(conf|inc|module|pl|sh|sql|theme)|Entries|Repositories|Root|scripts|updates)$">
#  order deny,allow
#  deny from all
#</Files>

I had to comment out the above code in the .htaccess file in order not to get an 403 error.

BTW I'm getting the 403 error ONLY at the "home" URL i.e. http://domain.com/en/

Hmmmm wondering if somebody knows what is going on ...

Thanks!

HI all
I was doing a demo installation - I have two separate installations on my computer. I was feeling all nice, and I went to enable the taxonomy_context module, and then all the pages are now showing blank!
This is weird, in my other installation, everything works fine.
What could I do?
Thanks
Vidya

I'm changing the test installation to a production installation... So, the new Drupal installation it's slow, slow,,, and can't show the theme, or login as admin/user. I revised settings.php and .htaccess, and can't find errors... Any idea?

Thanks of your help...

Greetings,

I read the install.txt included in 4.6 and did everything it says (i think) re: multi-site setup.

i duplicated the sites/default folder and renamed it sites/site1.com,
then i changed the settings.php file

$db_url = same as default settings.php
$db_prefix = 'site1_'

Correct me if i'm wrong, but with this method i can have multiple unique sites, with all unique content, but all running off the same database- ie with a single backup i can backup all sites at once, right?

Hi, first off drupal seems amazing. I, on the other hand, am not so amazing and am having trouble adding a simple forum. So far I've added a container then added a forum into it. I looks good but when I try to post a topic it just appears on the front page and not in the forum. I've been playing with the site all day and just can't see what I'm suppoded to do. No matter what I try it never appears as part of the forum :S

Can anyone shed some light on my (probably silly) mistake?

P.s. I am using the latsest drupal-4.6.2 on a remote Ubuntu linux server.
