Installing Drupal

My client has gone through a rebrand and has changed their primary URL. I need to redirect all traffic that visits old URLs and send them to the same page on the new URL and ideally append a #hashtag... the hashtag will trigger an overlay explaining the redirect. Both sites are on the same Drupal codebase and thus use the same .htaccess file.

So if someone visits:
http://oldsite.com/abc/def

Hello,

I have a problem with installation of Drupal 7.18

What i am doing?
1. extract all drupal files to folder on my server
2. run http://filesofdrupal.eu
3. Set up the Standard installation profile, clicking next
4. Set the language, clicking next
5. Set up the connection to my database, it's all right and clicking to Save and Continue

During my repeated installation attempts of Drupal 7.1x (7.17 and 7.18), the following error message occurs -

> PDOException: SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table
> 'drupal_ss481_com.shortcut_set_users' doesn't exist: SELECT s.set_name AS
> set_name FROM {shortcut_set} s INNER JOIN {shortcut_set_users} u ON
> s.set_name = u.set_name WHERE (u.uid = :db_condition_placeholder_0) ; Array
> ( [:db_condition_placeholder_0] => 1 ) in shortcut_current_displayed_set()
> (line 497 of
> /home/ssr481/ss481.com/drupal/modules/shortcut/shortcut.module)

In other words, the shortcut_set_users table doesn't get created whenever I install drupal..

Specifically, the following happens when I attempt to install drupal -

The installation has encountered an error.

Hi, I installed WAMP on Windows 7 yesterday, but I can't get Drupal to install on it. It complains that there is no pdo or gd module available, though the php extensions are checked in the .ini file (php_pdo_mysql. php_gd2). I ran a test to check that the extensions were installed:
(if (!defined('PDO::ATTR_DRIVER_NAME')) {
echo 'PDO unavailable';
}
else {
echo "ok!";
}

and the test ran ok. The error messages the drupal install gives me are:

I'm working on a site that was built by someone else, and it was set up as a multi site installation, even though there is only one site on the sever. IE, the settings.php and files are in mysite.com directory of sites instead of the default directory. I'm working on revamping this site, so I've made a copy of the database and entire web directory and moved it to a virtual host on my Mac.

Hi everyone, I've stupidly installed a jpeg for my logo, but it's so big I can't see anything else except for My Account etc down the left side. I can click through to Themes, but the picture overrides everything else on the page and I can't see anything to undo it or do any administration.

Any ideas on how to sort this?
