Installing Drupal

I'm trying to install a Drupal 7 on Apache 2.2.14 (Ubuntu) but failing. Installation ends up with 2 errors:

• Drupal requires to enable GD and PDO extensions Web server does not appear to support PDO
• At the same time GD and PDO are enabled on server as reported by phpinfo() and hosting provider

I'm new here and to all this and will appreciate any directions. Thanks.

We have a student project that runs a site based on Drupal. The idea is to "reboot" the site once a year, meaning that the whole site is redesigned from scratch when the course starts the next time. The problem is we want to preserve all the different versions online for example like this:

http://www.blaablaa.com/ (this would be the current site)
http://www.blaablaa.com/2011 (this would be the earlier version of the site) etc

Greetings everyone,

I have a question, hopefully it is not a duplicate but..

The management here at my company is trying to build out a new Drupal farm that will interface with out Tableau server.

They were asking if:

- Drupal can be installed onto one machine running CentOS 6.3

- MySQL to be installed on another server, separate from the Drupal install.

Needless to say I'm a Drupal newbie, but I've been working with Linux for years.

I'm using drush site-install command.

Installing under windows.

This seems to work fine but it seems that every second server I try to install it onto assumes that the site directory should be i sites/D/ and thinks the site URL is http://D:

Any ideas?

As a background, I'm trying to get two Drupal servers up and running using a shared database.

Thanks.

Whenever I try to deploy Drupal using the Web Platform Installer command line using a parameters file, it always detects/chooses the server type of MSSQL even if we are using MySQL Parameter names.

Other apps are not having this problem, it seems specific to this app which suggests a problem with the package.

Example parameter names generated / used in the .app file:

Drupal w/ MSSQL:

Application Path[@]
dbServer[@]
dbName[@]
dbUsername[@]
dbUserPassword[@]
dbAdminUsername[@]
dbAdminPassword[@]

Drupal w/ MySQL:

Application Path[@]
mdbServer[@]
mdbName[@]
mdbUsername[@]
mdbUserPassword[@]
mdbAdminUsername[@]
mdbAdminPassword[@]

The following error shows that even though the app file is specifying MySQL parameter names it is erroring trying to find MSSQL parameters:


C:\tools\WebPICMD>WebpiCmd.exe /Install /UseRemoteDatabase /AcceptEula /Application:AcquiaDrupal@"C:\tools\WebPICMD\Acquia Drupal 70.app"
