Installing Drupal

Hi all,

I'm trying to install drupal on a apache server mysql5. I get the following error:

"Error PHP register globals Enabled ('1')
register_globals is enabled. Drupal requires this configuration directive to be disabled. Your site may not be secure when register_globals is enabled. The PHP manual has instructions for how to change configuration settings."

Of course I googled and like everyone says I tried to make a php.ini with the line:

php_value register_globals 0

Hello,

I'm trying to install Drupal for the first time.

Unfortunately, I cannot pass the "Database Configuration" installation step.

Thank you in advance for any assistance!

Hello

I am creating a new website and the old website must be still running while configuring drupal. I installed drupal in the root folder, so I don't have to deal with url issues when I launch the new website. One problem: my old website uses index.php as index. how can I put the index.php of drupal in a subfolder while the files stay in the root folder?

I am a beginner at this, so if this a stupid question.

I am hosting a with a company called domainpeople.com and they have a fairly seemless setup process with drupal and i didn't need to download it from drupal.org.

So i am up and running and new to all the options, but what i really want to do is use the "openchurch" theme (this was located under drupal distribution).

Can i do this?

Thanks for the help.

Hi,

I have set up a Drupal site with database.

I have now moved all the drupal files to another host, but want to keep sql database on current host.

I keep getting this error:

Failed to connect to your database server. The server reports the following message: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2005] Unknown MySQL server host 'myhostname' (3).

All I have changed is the settings file from localhost to the new host name. I have checked with the database host that everything is correct.

Any ideas why this still isn't working.

Thanks

I have installed drupal on the Freehostia hosting site using its one-click installation function. Now, when I try to access the drupal site (Betchworth.net/drupal) I am sent to the Welcome to Local Host page. I don't understand why I am directed there and not to the Basic Set up page. Also, the welcome page asks for a username and password; what username and password is it looking for? I have tried all combinations I created when setting up drupal and the database, but none of them works. I hope someone is able to help.

Best wishes

Tony Holland
