Installing Drupal

Hello Everyone. This is my first post to Drupal.
I am trying to install Drupal for the 10th time over the past year.
I start, get busy at work and put it off after being unable to resolve installation problems.
I'm not stopping this time. I keep getting this error. I have a good install of PHP
with mysql, mysqi, mbstring, apache and so on. However everytime I try to install gd with libxml with php i get
this error.

Quick question really.

I've been working with a local installation of Drupal and would like to have a few more new Drupal sites running locally, new projects if you like.
Do I need a full fresh installation for these new sites/projects?

Example, if I have 8 sites using Drupal, do I need to install it 8 times?
And would I also have to install all the modules again and again for each site?

Thanks, Barry

I'm trying to install Drupal on a remote server. The available tool is cPanel. I've loaded Drupal and expanded it into folder public/info. I've copied public/info/sites/default/default.settings.php to settings.php in the same folder and have set the latter's permissions to 0666.

I then tried to complete the installation by going to www.mysite.org/info . However instead of the expected installation page I simply get a listing of the three folders in public/info. I've not been able to get past that.

In Ubuntu LTS 11.10 index.html was in /var/www . I am installing Drupal 7 on Ubuntu LTS 14.04. Here there is a change in structure and index.html is now in /var/www/html . I have seem a statement that this change improves security. I have installed Drupal in /var/www/drupal. In Internet Explorer http://n.n.n.n/drupal/install.php the page cannot be found. http://n.n.n.n/ displays the apache default page (index.html). Your advice would be much appreciated.

Hi Everyone,

I have a 7.x site and the last thing I remember doing a month ago was install the WYSIWYG and imce_wysiwyg modules. Everything was working fine. Now when I log into the site (as sole admin) and try to access any of the admin menu items, I get a drupal "Page not found" error with this line: "The requested page '/mo2/index.php?q=admin%25252Fhelp" could not be found.' The '...help' part is changed depending upon which menu (configuration, people, etc) I try.

Does anyone have any idea what's broken and where I need to be looking? The settings file?

I'm trying to migrate a site onto an online web host. I create a blank mySQL database and a user with the required permissions. I upload my files to the host. Then I edit settings.php. This should work, right?
