Installing Drupal

has anyone had success installing drupal under jetty?

I am have justdownloaded Drupal but I have problem installing it. Since I am not very familiar with PHP and SQL commands I can't follow the manual easily. Is there any other way I can do this eaiser?

I am trying to install "project" and the second step of the instructions is unclear as I do not have a command line access to my server (at least I am not aware that I have command line access, I am using shared hosting at Surpass.)

2. Load the database definition using the tool of your choice. For mysql with
command line access use:
mysql -u user -p drupal < project.mysql
Replace user with the MySQL username, and drupal with the table being used.

I am making a switch to CivicSpace and have run into the old, "Headers already sent" error.

After consulting the FAQ and searching around I followed the suggestion of removing extra carrier returns after the last tag in not only the conf.php file, but EVERY file. A great number of them had this extra file, including most of the includes and a few others.

Is this a problem others have had with CivicSpace? Was it unpacked poorly on my end or does it do this to everyone?

Are there other suggestions, aside from purging out the extra white space, to fix this?

Here are the error messages I get.

Hi,

I'm getting no search results at all in Drupal 4.5.1. I've enabled the search module and configured permissions for anonymous user and authenticated user to search content. No results come back at all, no matter what I search on....

Drupal is a fun portal to work with once it is working, but I must say
it's one of the more unpleasant applications to install. I end up learning
a lot anytime I try to install it, but I'd much rather it just work.

I have Drupal, Apache and MySQL on the same machine. When I try to hit it
with a broswer I get the following message.

Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13)

I've attempted many, many suggestions from the forum and nothing is helping. Here's
what I have going, any help is appreciated
