Hi,
Just wondered if anyone could help me. I'm trying to install drupal on a supanames.co.uk mid range hosting plan.
Therefore I don't have command line access to the Linux server my site shares with probably many others.
However I do have an online mysql admin system.
I know PHP is up to date enough to run drupal, and although it is configed wrongly, I believe I am allowed to use .htaccess files so hopefully thats not an issue.
Now heres where i am:
Have installed drupal to a folder off the sites root (http://domain.me.uk/drupal)
Have altered the config file to this format:
$db_url = "mysql://dbusername:mypassword@myhostname/dbname";
$base_url = "http://domain.me.uk";
Have set up the database by cut and pasting database.mysql into the command box in the mysql admin system.
I am assuming the dbuser that was automatically set up when I created a blank database has sufficient privileges to work without running the GRANT command in the Install instructions.
Ok, so far as I am concerned its set up. I go to the location of the login page and I get a fairly standard error page stating:
Sorry, there has been a page error
The server could not complete your request.

* The host may be having a problem currently.
* If you typed the page address in the Address bar, make sure that it is spelled correctly.
