Installing Drupal

When I first installed Drupal 7.10 I moved the drupal files etc to /var/www/drupal . Now I wish to do a new install of Drupal 7.28 to /var/www/drupal (I will use a backup of the previous site). Is there a new folder called html? How do I avoid it so that I can use my backup (made through Backup & Migrate 7.28)? Your help would be much appreciated. Using Ubuntu 14.04 (was 11.10).

Hi Drupal community,

I'm trying to get Drupal 7.x to run on Quercus. I'm trying the simplest possible use case, with MySQL and Tomcat 8.0.8. Actually I also tried Postgres and that didn't work; there's some unsupported functions in PDO. That's ok; we can use MySQL. But I tried it and got bad results. It installs ok, but it can't find any pages. This is with quercus-4.0.39, Tomcat 8.0.8, and drupal-7.28.

hi there,

Been trying to install drupal. Keep getting problems and errors. Last error was: Failed to connect to your database server. The server reports the following message: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: nodename nor servname provided, or not known.

Hello all

I seem to be having some issues getting Drupal (any version) to run on a server with sbox_copy or sbox_aufs implemented.

Wheezy server
apache2, blah blah
I'm using DTC as a control panel. I've contacted the author, and as it seems to work with everything else, so they are not to helpful.

So here's what I'm doing.
Blank hosting space with sbox_copy running.
Upload drupal install files.
navigate to URL
Then I get the following error

So I am in the throws of converting a site to drupal and there is a fair amount of modules that require additional modules that require some more modules asking for more modules. I know that drupal list all of the dependencies in the .info file for each of the modules. However, is there anything (anywhere?) that would function as a yum or yum like module that wold download all of the dependencies a module has? It seems to me this would save a lot of hours in the long run for people searching for modules.

the database I used for installing Drupal 7.28 became unstable and can not be repaired.

so I deleted.

I transferred all Drupal files and folders again to the server and created a NEW database. However DRUPAL INSTALLATION KEEPS ASKING FOR
THE OLD DATABASE.

How can I solve this problem?

Thanks for answer.
