Installing Drupal

I'm using ubuntu with LAMP. Got drupal 7 up with all the folder permissions granted. Though when I want to install the package/profile, I get this message when loading the site:

Warning: ini_set(): A session is active. You cannot change the session module's ini settings at this time in drupal_environment_initialize() (line 680 of /var/www/drupal/includes/bootstrap.inc).

I have tried the following:

settings.php: ini_set('session.auto_start', 0);
htaccess or vhost: php_value session.auto_start 0
php.ini: session.auto_start = 0

Hi, would like to ask is Drupal more compatible using a Windows Server Hosting or Linux Server Hosting? Currently having a Wordpress Website on a Windows Server Hosting but seems to have many error issues with openbase dir. Will Drupal have such an issue too? Sorry if this question has been asked before. Thanks

This sounds like a really strange issue.

I had a Drupal 7 installation that I hadn't looked at for a long time. I deleted the directory structure completely, and recreated it, extracting a new Drupal 7 copy into it. I also deleted my database and created a new one.

Good morning .

We are building a website by using drupal 7 and we would like to know the default way that drupal 7 search engine works.

Is there somewhere the specs of this to read about ?

To make ourselves understood as we see at the main home page of drupal.org , the search gives the ability to search at modules , themes etc.

Is this something more from the default way of working or this is the default way ?

Thank you very much for your time .

I'm installing drupal for the first time. I've got it at the root, but I get this error:

Directory Listing Denied
This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed.

Not sure what is wrong. I also tried to go to mysite.com/install.php - No luck

Thanks in advance

Hi
We currently are having issues with the code and would like to use the production environment as the baseline for doing any activities in the development environment.

We have dev and prod boxes with drupal,IHS and MySQL installations.

The application team would like to create a production baseline environment on the DEV box by copying the production directories and copying the production mysql repository on the dev box. This environment will run side by side the existing dev application.
