Installing Drupal

Where exactly do all the files that come with the download file go. I Moved the event.module to the modules directory but there are several other files in the tar and I have no idea what to do with them?

Any suggestions?

Hi All,

I have been working through several issues trying to get Drupal working with Apache2 on Suse 9.1. Here are my problems and resolutions which might save future Suse 9.x Drupal newbies like me some time and headaches. Most of the installation was pretty straight forward and everything went as expected until I came to trying to load the Drupal home page.

Problem 1. Get the Apache default page instead of Drupals

Added the code below to /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

AllowOverride All

Also added the code below to /etc/apache2/default-server.conf

.
.
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
AllowOverride All
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

Not sure if both the changes above are needed or if it make things insecure. Anyway, I then restarted Apache with "/etc/rc.d/apache2 restart". I also needed to reload the pages in my web browser to get the expected Drupal pages instead of the Apache default page.

Problem 2. Get an error that the mail() function is undefined when I try to email the new account password

I tried setting the sendmail line in /etc/php.ini but this didn't fix the problem. I then did a php -m from the command line it appears that SuSE have not compiled the mail function into php4. I was almost resigned to having to recompile php4 from the source code when I saw the section below in /etc/php.ini. Well , I thought I might as well try overloading the mail function (whatever that does?) and after restarting Apache with "/etc/rc.d/apache2 restart" the error was fixed.

I've tried everything I can think of, including reinstalling, installing a previous release and now wiping the slate clean and going back to 4.5.2, and I can't get beyond a page full of errors that looks like this:

warning: array_key_exists(): The first argument should be either a string or an integer in /home/httpd/vhosts/default/htdocs/drupal-4.5.2/includes/module.inc on line 89.

I've confirmed via phpMyAdmin that the drupal user and drupal database are there and ready to go. Here's my setup:

Hello,

I'm new to Drupal.
I want to add a product with an image. What I did is create content -> image. There you can select an image and tell it's an product. My problem is that now there are the options original image and image gallery beneath the product. Is there a way to not have these options? Or do I have to add product in another way? At aminister -> bloks, Image gallery isn't enabled.
I can't find a way to fix this. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

does anybody know if it's possible to use different strings for the "add comment" link in discussions and article. I am only talking about the initial posting. I would like to use "answer" in forum topics and "add a comment" for all other content types. Has anybody done this? Or know what to do?
