Installing Drupal

Hi.
I have installed a drupal site on a subfolder of my domain

www.domain.com/drupal

to be able to edit it, load content etc while the older site still online but wish now to bring down to the root
But drupal keeps the links in the menus and links as relatinve to the drupal sobfolder

www.domain.com/drupal/node11

instead of www.domain.com/node11

I'm on Windows 7. I have IIS and MySQL installed
I've worked for about a month to migrate a MySQL database to a reasonable schema (it was an absolute mess before)

Now I want to find a Drupal installer that I can install to help a friend migrate and develop against this MySQL data

I found a Microsoft Web Matrix Acquia installer but that wants to use SQL Express.
I found another windows installer but that seems to want to install the SAME version of MySQL I already have installed.

all I need is Drupal and PHP.

Hi,

I have a Drupal multisite setup and I am trying to make the Clean URLs work but cannot seem to be able to write the conditions and rules properly. I have found many answers but none of them worked.

My .htaccess file is being read without problem and the rules are being used (I tried setting the rewrite rule to the full address but it was only giving me the home page and I couldn't go anywhere else).

Here is how it is setup:

DEV:
URL1 www.site1.domain.fr/dev
URL2 www.site2.site1.domain.fr/dev

PROD
URL1 www.site1.domain.fr
URL2 www.site2.site1.domain.fr

On the server:
/dev (one drupal install)
/prod (another drupal install but same content)

My multisite is setup as this:
/sites/site1.domain.fr
/sites/site1.site1.domain.fr
(same thing for dev and for prod)

Inside sites.php
$sites = array(
'www.site1.domain.fr' => 'site1.domain.fr',
'www.site2.site1.domain.fr' => 'site2.site1.domain.fr',
)

I tried this:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^site1\.domain\.fr [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ site1.domain/index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^site2.site1\.domain\.fr [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ site2.site1.domain/index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

We've created a Drupal instance (7.x) which works fine in Ubuntu. However, after a recent corporate merger we've had to redeploy the site on a SUSE / SLSE (11 SP2) platform. I'm trying to get it up and running and I've been left with an unusual problem.

This was first noticed when trying to use the Feeds module, I receive errors as if the system doesn't have permission to write the file or something.

I have a website hosted by biz.nf and I'm trying to get Drupal on it. After some initial issues I finally got Drupal installing and then got this error:

Failed to connect to your database server. The server reports the following message: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2005] Unknown MySQL server host ' pdb11.biz.nf' (1).

I have been trying to use Drupal for several months. I have absolutely no problem setting it up on a local machine. I have several virtual machines running it just fine. When I try to set it up on my EC2 server using the same version of linux/php/everything it shows "Page not found The requested page "/" could not be found." right after accepting my database info on step 4 of the installation. You can see it here. I have tried to install this close to 10 times.
