Installing Drupal

Hello all,

I have a Drupal site hosted on WAMP (localhost), and I moved it to the web (www.naturalstonenecklaces.com).

Hello all,

I have been having trouble moving my Drupal site from ServersFree.com free hosting to 1&1 paid hosting. I migrated my site data (public-html folder), my MySQL database, and updatated settings.php with the new database server info. However, when I load up my website (naturalstonenecklaces.com), I get the following error:

PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2005] Unknown MySQL server host 'mysql.serversfree.com' (1) in lock_may_be_available() (line 167 of /homepages/11/d445826877/htdocs/includes/lock.inc).

Help would be much appreciated,

Dakota

The IT guy at the company I work for installed Drupal. He gave me a username and password as the administrator and told me to take over. I can't seem to carry out the updates as I am getting the following error message:

I tried downloading the files but I have no idea where the original files are located to upload to.

I almost had this install finished when I got this fastal error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function commerce_currencies() in /home/prochass/public_html/profiles/commerce_kickstart/commerce_kickstart.install on line 192

the line 192 is:
foreach (commerce_currencies(FALSE, TRUE) as $currency_code => $currency) {

what could be wrong with it??

I have my domain set up for multisite with subdomains use of Drupal, and that finally is working out well. The problem is this: the main site is to be a store; a secondary site is to be a classroom. There are two other sites waiting in the wings. Im running Commerce Kickstart in its own folder but I want it to be the main site, so I will wipe and redo when I'm done looking at the demo site.

Then I placed eLMS and Training in Profiles off of the basic installation of Drupal, and keep getting this error: "Sorry, the profile you have chosen cannot be loaded." I don't know PHP and am struggling with Drupal. Both eLMS and Training stop at "verify requirements".

Research on reported similar problems is unproductive because what worked for others isn't working here. I've also tried to install eLMS in its own folder in the main site via one of the subdomains, and I get this error which won't go away even though the settings.php file is where it needs to be and the permissions are set:

"The ELMS installer requires that you create a settings file as part of the installation process.
Copy the ./sites/default/default.settings.php file to ./sites/default/settings.php.
Change file permissions so that it is writable by the web server. If you are unsure how to grant file permissions, please consult the on-line handbook.

I am trying to do the initial install of Drupal on a Linux box. I have Apache and php there already. I have MySQL and created a database for use with Drupal. In going through the installation, it always seems to assume sqlite. I see no option for any other db. In the space provided for the database, it fills in .ht.sqlite. If I change it, it makes no difference, the next page I get it full of sqlite errors. How do I specify another database? Thanks.
