I've tried to install Drupal on my Lycos hosting-account (one of the Webcenter-packages) but the installation instructions were very poor. It only tells you how to install it on your own servers. I worked it out.
Expand the Drupal installation package to your local harddisk, then edit the conf.php file (located in the includes directory).
Edit the following: $db_url = "mysql://username:password@localhost/database (for most of the Lycos packages it's something like this: $db_url = "mysql://website_com@123456@localhost/website_com_1")
Upload the entire directory to you account.
Insert the modified MySQL-data into your MySQL (the thing I've changed is adding drupal_ to several commands).
=== MODIFIED MySQL-data ===
CREATE TABLE drupal_access (
aid tinyint(10) NOT NULL auto_increment,
mask varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
type varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
status tinyint(2) NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (aid)
) TYPE=MyISAM;
CREATE TABLE drupal_accesslog (
title varchar(255) default NULL,
path varchar(255) default NULL,
url varchar(255) default NULL,
hostname varchar(128) default NULL,
uid int(10) unsigned default '0',
timestamp int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
KEY accesslog_timestamp (timestamp)
) TYPE=MyISAM;
CREATE TABLE drupal_aggregator_category (
cid int(10) NOT NULL auto_increment,
title varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
DDEV is the official local development tool of Drupal. And like Drupal, DDEV depends on the support of the open source community.
