Installing Drupal

The install instructions for 4.5.2 suggest dropping the install as

(websiteroot)/drupal-4.5.2

However, that means that the access URL is http://mysite/drupal-4.5.2

To make a fully-drupal site, is the recommendation to unpack right in the root, or is there some well-understood scheme for moving index.php up a level and still having it work?

Hi,

I install drupal 4.6.0 over IIS 5*, PHP 4.3.11 and MySQL 4.1.10a following the link bellow instrutions:
http://drupal.org/node/5422

During the instalation process I didn't hae any problem or error. When a try run drupal the following message appear:

hv been tested with:

php 4.3.10
mysql 4.0.x
drupal 4.5.2

winxp and linux both appears the same problem. I cannot see any images or color loaded on the index.php. Anyone experienced with this b4? I have many experience with installing many other CMS, but i cant get this problem fixed. Appreciate with any suggestions.

ta,

My webhotel gave me a username with an @ for the mysql database.
How do I make my mysql user work in conf.php or elsewhere?

regards
ripe

Whenever I access the Administrator's Settings options to edit the site's settings, when I go to "Save configuration" I recieve a 500 Internal Server Error. How do I fix this?

Hello,

I have been working with my drupal site on my local machine. Now I want to make the install on my server, but I´m having problems with the phpmyadmin.

I´m on a virtual host account, an when I try to import the sql file, the server told me that the phpmyadmin exceeded the máximun memory allowed for a php script. Is there any other form of importing it?

Thanks a lot, Simon.
