Installing Drupal

Installing in windows(Works on 32 bit PHP)

Download Zend Optimizer from following link

http://downloads.php.net/pierre/

You should download the thread safe one if you are using mode_php with Apache 2 (ZendfOptimizerPlus-20130214-5.3-ts-vc9-x86.zip)

Change the following in your php.ini

Am a complete beginner to Drupal and Linux,
I have followed the steps describe in the link below:

Hi,

I want to install dkan on windows 2008 (IIS) using drush 6. I wanted to follow these commands:

git clone --branch 7.x-1.x https://github.com/nuams/dkan.git
cd dkan
drush make --prepare-install build-dkan.make C:\inetpub\wwwroot\webroot
cd webroot
drush site-install dkan --db-url="mysql://DBUSER:DBPASS@localhost/DBNAME"

but after running third command, there is no folder C:\inetpub\wwwroot\webroot.
Moreover, the third command didnt log anything useful into cmd.
Permissions should be OK.

I had these database connection settings working when i was running drupal 7.24, when i updated the core to 7.28 and kept the same db settings, it stopped working and giving me this error:

PDOException: SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user 'xxx'@'xxx' (using password: YES) in lock_may_be_available() (line 167 of /mnt/content/www/avi-7.28/includes/lock.inc).

I have setup my database and database user including adding the DB settings to the settings.php file, however, when I visit hyperline to install Drupal, I am getting this message, "PDOException: SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user 'parents4_gc'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in lock_may_be_available() (line 167 of /home/parents4/public_html/includes/lock.inc)."

Never had this issue before. Can someone lead me to a resolution?

Hi all,

I found a MS SQL Server "driver" (sort of database API layer extension) for Drupal 7 in https://drupal.org/project/sqlsrv . This driver seems to work with Drupal 7, but I couldn't find anything for Drupal 8.

Does Drupal 8 support MS SQL natively? Or... is there any extension for Drupal 8 allowing to use MS SQL as the database engine?
