Installing Drupal

Hi

I am trying to do a multi-site install of Drupal. The latest CVS builds have the $db_prefix functionality in the conf.php file, which makes this easy. You just have site1.php and site2.php, each pointing to a different database (or same database with different table prefixes if you like).

I want all the sites to have the same look and feel, but a different logo icon on the top left of the screen.

The logo icon is hardcoded in this file: themes/xtemplate/xtemplate.xtmpl

This makes it impossible to have different logos for different domains.

I've just installed drupal onto MySQL, and get the following error at the top of the page:

user error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'INNER JOIN users u ON r.rid = u.rid WHERE u.sid = 'e77a48e685a036ed2ef9402b719a9' at line 1
query: SELECT u.*, r.name AS role FROM role r INNER JOIN users u ON r.rid = u.rid WHERE u.sid = 'e77a48e685a036ed2ef9402b719a97a2' AND u.status = '1' AND u.status < 3 LIMIT 0, 1 in /home/jatkinso/public_html/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 75.

After a fair amount of research on this forum trying to find a way around my hosts settings I came across a link to this script on Devshed:

After I put everything on my site. Edited the config.php file. And did like everything it told me to in the INSTALL file. I get an error message that says this:

Fatal error: Table 'xphope_drupal.variable' doesn't exist query: SELECT * FROM variable in /home/xphope/public_html/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 75

I'm not sure what to do with it. I looked at the config, it was ok. Looked at my database and user and password. And they were all ok to. So I really don't have a clue what is going on.

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 script or file you are trying to call may be incorrectly written.
* 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.

I'm not understanding something very well.. well.. 2 things really..

1) I need to make a link that is NOT a node. How do I just insert a link into the link menu? (I'm using the marvin interface.)

2) How can I make a single page, or even a node, only accessible by registered users?

Thanks
