Installing Drupal

For most of the serwers Option FollowSymlinks in the .htaccess file should work.

If it doesn't try: Option +FollowSymlinks .It solved my problem. I think this should be added in the default .htaccess.

After months... many months of following and suffering through the image module problems its come to the latest cvs version where it appears we have lost the ability to configure the path to convert. see http://drupal.org/node/view/9066 . Is there anyone who has a really good answer to these problems or is it something in Imagemagick that makes it the source of instability and therefore outside the Drupal developer's ability to answer definitively..??. I'm at a total loss. The thread above is the problem and it needs answers.. When this many experienced users and developers are unable to answer the multitple and persistent problems of a module it seems the underlying foundation of the module must be rethought.

Dear all,

I have installed the filestore module. But I don't want the files store in database. I have read a comment which have mentioned by wernst.
(http://drupal.org/node/view/9575#14745)

How can I get the FileStore2 ??
Also, could you suggest any solutions for
1.)file size limit
2.)display file list in different pages
3.)access rights for files for different users

Hi all,
Have installed the image module but when clicking on preview I get the error :
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: form_set_error() in /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/drupal-4.4.2/modules/image.module on line 501

I am running redhat 9, apache2.0.50 , PHP/4.3.8. I am sure that I have something very basic wrong, I just cannot find it.
Any help would be appreciated.
thank you

How exactly do i edit my mySQL database? All i see in the "How To" is stuff like "$ mysql -u nobody -p drupal < database/database.mysql"
The problem is i have no idea where to type these things... Does Drupal have a scripted PHP file that i can edit my database through?

I'm trying to install the latest from CVS on a machine that is not my own and get a 500 Internal Server Error when trying to access Drupal for the first time. The Apache error log says this: .htaccess: order not allowed here. Anybody familiar with this?

The lines in the .htaccess that this seems to pertain to are these:
# Protect files and directories from prying eyes:
<Files ~ "(\.(conf|inc|module|pl|sh|sql|theme)|Entries|Repositories|Root|scripts|updates)$">
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Files>
