Installing Drupal

Hi,

I'm trying to install Drupal using MysqlTool which comes with my hosted server. I have installed numerous cms before but I don't know squat about Mysql. My server also already comes with a mysql database, so I need only create the drupal tables, as I understand it.

The Installation documentation with Drupal says:

----
3. LOAD THE DRUPAL DATABASE SCHEME

Once you have a database, you must load the required tables into
the database.

If you use a web-based control panel, [MYSQLTOOL????] you should be
able to upload the file 'database.mysql' from Drupal's 'database'
directory and run it directly as SQL commands.[I DON'T SEE ANY OPTIONS TO UPLOAD ANYTHING IN MYSQLTOOL]

From the command line [HUH?], use:

mysql -u nobody -p drupal < database/database.mysql
----

MYSQLTOOL does offer an "execute sql statement" link which brings up an empty box with an "execute" button below it, it also has a "New Table" link which brings up a bunch of form fields to fill out, and it also offers a "Generate create tables script" which shows a list of tables already in the database, and the option to select or unselect them and the "Generate" button.

Its all Greek to me. The only thing I tried was pasting the contents of the database.mysql file in the "execute sql statement box" and executing it which returned some error message.

Can anyone give me any advice?

Yes. My Drupal (4.5.2) instalation doesn't works in my LAN (200.1.10.0/255.255.255.0, for example).
Utilizing IE and mozilla I tried to login... No error, but no login. I just end up back at the login page.
Curiously in LAN cited above browsers like lynx and Xemacs works perfectly.
But out of this domain, in any domain, drupal works fine.

Why this weird behavior?

Hello,

Configuration :
- drupal-cvs
- Suse 9.1 (Mysql 4.0.18, Php-4.3.4)

All seem to be fine, expected when I download the image module from downloads cvs.
I extract image-cvs.tar.gz in the modules directory.
I connect with my login and password to active the module ( Administration -> Modules).
When I clic on module, I have a white page.
I need to remove the image directory to that seem to bo ok.

Hi.

I am trying to install drupal into postgresql. I am having some issues getting my db_url string correct.

The problem I have is that i HAVE to use unix sockets, my hosting partner does not allow the use of tcp.ip based connections. Thus life is getting difficult.

Hello,

I had installed first last week the 4.52 version. Today i upgrade with the new release CVS. After upgrading the database and gho to the admin link, i get this message :

warning: call_user_func_array(): First argumented is expected to be a valid callback, 'admin_main_page' was given in c:\programme\easyphp1-8\www\drupal\includes\menu.inc on line 353.
And a blank page.

When i go the the index.php => no problem.

What can i do ? any idea ?
