Installing Drupal

Following this

cd /var/www Download Drupal. wget http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-7.17.tar.gz Extract. tar xvf drupal-7.17.tar.gz Create database. mysql -u root -p Create database drupal; exit; Create settings file. cd /var/www/sites/default cp default.settings.php settings.php chmod 777 settings.php mkdir files chmod 777 files

Got as far as created mysql database and exit then had errors

apologies to VM - his comment is pertaining to my bringing up a php install issue as one of steps to setting up vps and then install drupal but as he said has nothing directly to do with drupal install and seeing passed that bit - have changed to relevant issue.

So wanting to know why root user would not be able to extract drupal- code error

Please what could be the cause of this error message encountered while I was installing drupal on my WAMP server?

Issue closed.

Hi Guys

I was able to install Drupal with Mysql, however i am facing issue with installing drupal with sql server database. i downloaded the sqlsrv module and place it in database\module folder, but still it does not show the sql sever database option in Database Type. it only shows Mysql and SqlLite databases.

please tell me the steps to install drupal with sql server database.

Thanks ,
Pralhad
